Now that I think about it, part of the government was in the business of creating offensive, mocking, insulting images for propaganda purposes. I’m thinking of the classic yellow nip with the buck teeth and coke bottle glasses.
True. And today, those propaganda images are created in the minds of the public by government and media in a constant barrage describing “Evil right wing bible thumpers” “Bitter clingers” “Tea Partiers” and such.
Rather than the actual enemy.
What’s wrong with this picture?

That was my point, our government was (rightfully) trying to whip us up for a VERY TOUGH fight.
...and guess what. We didn’t care if it hurt the feelings of Japanese on EITHER SIDE of the ocean. We had a war to win first.
