In 1942 the US War Department produced a Pocket Guide to China,
which includes a comic book-like section titled How to Spot a Jap.
The goal of the section is to teach American soldiers how to
differentiate the Chinese from the Japanese. It covers differences
in the face, feet, stride, and pronunciation of English. (Do any
veterans out there remember this thing
)
I found How to Spot a Jap a fascinating little piece of wartime
memorabilia. Go on and nostalge about the USs racist wartime
policies. (It sure is a good thing thats all a thing of the past,
right?)
