WWII US anti-Japanese propaganda
This viewpoint of the Japanese as subhuman and treacherous ultimately led to justification for such actions as the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and fueled the movement towards forcibly relocating Japanese Americans to internment camps through Executive Order 9066, issued on February 19th, 1942. An estimated 112,000 to 120,000 Japanese migrants and Japanese Americans from the West Coast were interned regardless of their attitude to the US or Japan. They were held for the duration of the war and, in many cases, returned home to find their property, farms, businesses, and other possessions had been sold or taken over by the local, non-Japanese-American population.

Among other giveaways are that the Japanese are ‘more on the lemon-yellow side’ in skin colour, has ‘buck teeth’ and ‘shuffles rather than strides’ (one must ‘make your man walk’).
