You ever wonder if Yoko caused anyone to become virulently racist against the Japanese? Like, imagine you’re a typical foid of the era, you grew up with your Greatest Gen daddy ranting and raving about Iwo Jima, and then you become a screeching John fangirl. Then you blink and John’s with this weird harpy, and he’s making avant garde tuneless dogshit, and the band’s broken up, and she’s howling like a banshee over everything. Maybe you discover anime a couple decades later. Do you think there are boomers sitting in nursing homes, howling “Those goddamn nips! Ruining our cultural institutions!” while they drool on their John body pillow or some shit?
 
The Beatles' meteoric rise in the USA only really makes sense when you look at the state of American pop music at the time.

Ofc the Beatles were going to take off when their main American competition at the time was stuff like Frankie Faggi and the New Jersey Peepeepoopoo Authority.

I think whoever claims to have become a racist because of one person was already pretty racist to begin with.
