Were American racial attitudes towards Japanese in ww2 similar

No. John Dower pls fuck off

No, there was a large population of ethnic Germans and Italians in the US, so the propaganda department generally focused on liberation of those countries rather than subjugation of barbarians.

The war against Japan however was shapped as a fight against some gook-faced rats; they'd go round-eye once the US marines dragged them out of their shit-filled cave by their tiny yellow balls.

No, it was just propaganda designed to make their enemy appear to be inhuman monsters and make young Jimmy pumped at the thought of killing some baby-stabbing Nips.

Of course, the Japanese army certainly did nothing to dissuade such a reputation.

What makes you think this is a race thing? This is an objective portrayal of Tojo.

The funny thing is that the superhuman subhumans propaganda occurs after the U.S. started losing ground in the Pacific and quickly. Initially, they were portrayed as louses and other weak characters.
