wake up and realize when this was made... this was made back in the 1940's! when not only American's were using these stero types during the war but so were every other country in the world. don't pin this all on us when the rest of the world at the time was doing the EXACT SAME THING!

since when! Germans during world war 2 were the ones that basically invented the propaganda films. Japaneses had propaganda films..so did britian and France. yes NORTH America is a continent.. but when you refer to American's...thats those that live in the USA, as i have yet to ever hear anyone from Canada and Mexico called American.

take it easy, i'm not just speaking about war times, i'm seriuos man, the way they perceive all other people, races, civilizations, etc, is like: they are idiots because they do not speak english, and they have weird customs, and they don't even have a mc'donalds around here... America in all other languages refers to the continent... and Americans are the inhabitants of it

and this is where you are just showing your own ignorance. yes there are some that believe that, but not every American out there is a single minded white power idiot that believe white man is the master race. i work with a man that was born in Congo, lived in France and now lives here. he's one of the coolest guys i have met. And you can not once again classify all of us as American's as many Canadians and Mexican will take that as an insult.
and you just ...( 11 months ago by Zeracheil)
and you just contradicted yourself by saying that American's think people stupid cause they can not speak English, well um... if Canada and Mexico are part of America..why do they speak French and Mexican?
Stereotypes have a ...( 11 months ago by tv10morehead)
Stereotypes have a basis or origin and it is used to communicate something about a group, true or exaggerated. Groups of people & cultures do have common traits that identify them that can be exaggerated to the point of being offensive but the origin of the stereotype is not less true because someone is offended. Censoring the true because it is offensive is more dangerous than racism.

No, anime was probably made in retaliation to this. I like it, even if it is un-PC and the gags are corny. You don't see stuff like this in modern entertainment.
"Tokio Jokio" (1943 ...( 9 months ago by fromthesidelines)
"Tokio Jokio" (1943) was produced at a time when America was involved in fighting the Japanese during World War II. This cartoon was supposed to be a satire of a "typical" Japanese newsreel, complete with caricatures now considered offensive today, and making fun of "Our Enemy" (just as Germans and Italians- part of the "Axis"- were also ridiculed in theatrical cartoons at the time)....

And not because it's racist - non-PC jokes are the best ever made.

The Japanese fought with us in the first World War. Of their service, we gave them everything they needed to build a stronger army and what they need to strengthen their country as a whole.
The Axis give them a chance to rule the world and they stab their own allies in the back and invade their neighbors.
Are you to suggest that our people deserved to die and we should have just rolled over and let the Axis do as they pleased?
If thats the case, you'd be good to learn German and fuck off.
