这主题。。。。实在没有什么好沾沾自喜的

A friend sent this to me and I thought it too funny / horrible / ridiculous not to share with all of you. During WWII, a particularly racist day and age, there existed a “Pocket Guide To China” which were given to American soldiers stationed in China at the time. Because Japan was in China, there was a section in there called “How To Spot A Jap.” I would like to show it to you now.
It starts with a nice little intro page (lots of wasted black ink!). Then there’s some Mandarin in there to help you out. “nee EE YAH!oo SHEHM-muh? waw UH yoh OH S YAHNG YEHN!”
It starts with a couple of Asians getting picked up by a patrol. They look similar… or do they? Let’s check out their faces.
C’mon. Buck teeth? Also, maybe they “shuffle” because they’ve
learned how to walk properly.
Okay, I could maybe see the geta thing, at least back then… The S-hissing thing is also kind of true, though not to the extent this makes it out to be. Still, something interesting I never thought about, I suppose.
I would say most prisoners shouldn’t be trusted. Also, is this the origin of the fanny pack? Do all Japanese tourists have a “Guardian of Honor” on them? I better watch out for those camera toting, high-socks fanny pack wearing Japanese seniors. Also, what are “comic strip gadgets?” Go-go-gadget pistol!
A nice little s-s-sss-sumary, and a reminder that the Japanese have tricked the Chinese even (omg). Be careful out there, soldier!
This comic was drawn up by Milton Caniff who is known for doing “Terry and the Pirates.” While it’s not particularly the type of thing you’d want associated to your name nowadays, these were definitely different times.
