George W. Bush, despised by European literati as a knucklehead, has appointed a Japanese American (Mr Minata) Secretary of Transportation.
Maybe they think only a knucklehead would do that. :-)
Seriously, I prefer the American system where that isn't particularly remarkable.
What is remarkable about that is that Mineta is also a DEMOCRAT. That's remarkable even for the US!

the "yellow peril" prejudice that still pervades the US public opinion
Where do you see evidence of this? I live in Silicon Valley, which may distort my view, but here there are many Asians and they don't don't seem to pose much peril.
I think the situation with China has more to do with realpolitik than yellow peril.
