UncleHo19, my point was not about racism as carried out by Japanese brutality against the Chinese and others. It was about how propaganda was used to depict the "other." Can you demonstrate how the Japanese made fun of the Chinese for their physical characteristics, which are, of course, not that radically different from those of the Japanese? Ditto for their treatment of the West in propaganda. I never would deny the viciousness of the Japanese toward their enemies, Western or Asian.

Shame on you , outside world ! Why , oh why are you so cruel towards the peaceful Nippon people ! Moreover, theyre not a pervert nation , even if they enjoy organizing mass orgies involving 500 people

I beg your pardon , kabuki-sama , you're right, the japanese are a peace-loving people who did no harm to anyone ! Indeed, the Kampetai officers were not torturers, just nice guys with a particular sense of humor ! Yeah , the "Unit 731" experimental camp never vivisected any chinaman, and no bacteriological weapons were tested on prisonners, that's all propaganda, all these pictures and testimonies are fake !Youre right, Kabukiguy-san , all these gaijins and Chinese are mean, racist people !

Hooo sorry Kabukiguy-san ! Sorry , honorable jap-loving otaku , I forgot that slaughtering all those chinese civilians at Nanking and gang-raping their female relatives was not motivated by racism !Yeeah , the Chinese , the Korean, and people from southeast-Asia were not considered subhumans ! I'm gonna ask my Singaporean friend to give you apologies! For she dared to be resentful against the Kampetai who killed her grandfather !

I disagree with you, Japan thought that Americans were moral weak and not honorable enought to be treated like normal POWs

It was Pearl Harbor that did that.

""Natures' spelled backwards is SERUTAN", the brand of a popular vegetable laxative at the time.

What most people don't realize today is that the Americans viciously characterized the Japanese for their physical qualities, while the Japanese never did likewise with regard to the West. The Japanese instead attacked Western ideology and leaders like Roosevelt. The racist angle was primarily a Western propaganda tool.

I don't mean to be didactic. This was a response to an assertion that Japan/the Japanese would NOT have been ridiculed had there not been WWII going on. Also, I'm puzzled as to why everyone's offended by people describing the toon as racist. I mean, it IS racist. This is actually why I find these cartoons fascinating, at least from an American standpoint! They mark the historical route of Asian representation in the media today, shedding light on how present racist stereotypes came to be.

Are you kdding me? if you recall, the U.S. did not force hundreds of thousands of German Americans or Italian Americans into internment camps during the war. It would be the 110,000 Americans of Japanese descent who were specifically coerced out of their homes and into internment camps by executive order; they would be the ones to embody Americans' fear of the "enemy."

Wow great comment loser

this is more racist than tokyo jokio

owned 3.29

they got the wrong girli think either jimmy carter or gerald ford pardoned her

3:28 wat the heck?! LOL

They packed shells in WW2 with money? I don't think the shrapnel would be very effective.. lol

Not a bad idea, actually. It's a great way for people to voluntarily support the war, and then the government can pay them back whatever they don't use....except when the government decides all this nice money laying around after the war could buy some nice rides for the congressmen. =P

I showed this video to my great uncle, he served in the pacific during the war, and he says they got that bitch Tokyo Rose down well.

In care there are younger viewers who don't get two of the earlier jokes, the announcer is referencing a laxative called "Serutan" ("Natures" spelled backwards), and the "asbestos" curtain was common in many theaters because of fear of the curtains catching fire. Many times the curtain would actually have the word "ASBESTOS" sewn onto it to reassure the audience.
