How To Spot a Jap

A (pretty racist, in my opinion) extract from a guide book given to US soldiers serving in the Pacific, titled "How to Spot a Jap". It basically gave a breakdown of what a Japanese person was supposed to look like (based on western stereotypes) so that G.I Joe could distinguish them from other, possibly friendly, Asians. Interesting too, is the fact that only twenty or thirty years before this it was the Chinese who were portrayed as the "Yellow Devils" while Japanese immigrants were largely respected as honest businessmen.
