[WhiskeyGrinder]

6. Lotta racism in that propaganda.

[KS Toronado]

10. We just have to consider the time in which these were made

Why I added the info on the 442nd INFANTRY, least we forget.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. The time in which they were made was a racist time.

[Gruenemann]

13. Shockng how much of that racist crap...

...was created by Dr. Seuss.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. It's generally been known. Everything for the war effort!

[KS Toronado]

16. I know

I had no idea he was like that until I started searching for 1941 Pearl Harbor Editorial Cartoons today,
but then this Country was mad at Japan at the time. Dr Seuss started doing this after Dec 7th.

15. I have a small collection

Of cartoons from the 30s and 40s, unedited. Now that my children are in their teens, I show them the unspoken parts of history and what was common at that time.

They have been shocked by how casually stereotypes and racist references were used.

[Nictuku]

18. Something I noticed too

I grew up in Hawaii (in the 80s) and calling some one from Japan a 'Jap' was considered derogatory. Times have changed, of which I'm glad.

I think most countries at war with another country allow or even encourage making the enemy 'less than human', i.e. today's world, the Russians are referred to as Orcs by the Ukrainians.

After reading about the horrors and seeing all the destruction done by the Russians, I can hardly blame them.

But that seems to be what was going on in those old cartoons.

What a Piece of Work is Man.

17. Russo-Japanese War: Japan performed a similar sneak attack like they did at Pearl Harbor.

.

Japan issued a declaration of war on 8 February 1904.[50] However, three hours before Japan's declaration of war was received by the Russian government, and without warning, the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the Russian Far East Fleet at Port Arthur.[51]

Tsar Nicholas II was stunned by news of the attack. He could not believe that Japan would commit an act of war without a formal declaration, and had been assured by his ministers that the Japanese would not fight. When the attack came, according to Cecil Spring Rice, first secretary at the British Embassy, it left the Tsar "almost incredulous".[52]

Russia declared war on Japan eight days later.[53] Japan, in response, made reference to the Russian attack on Sweden in 1808 without declaration of war, although the requirement to mediate disputes between states before commencing hostilities was made international law in 1899, and again in 1907, with the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907.[54][55][56]
