An illustrated poster shows a person with prominent teeth and slanted eyes behind round glasses wearing a japanese military hat and holding a blood stained dagger. the text reads, tokio kid say much waste material make s happy. you. public domain what was one negative effect of posters like this one.

These posters were World War II American propaganda against the Japanese. How they sought American citizens support for the war however was encouraging racism against the Japanese.

This kind of propaganda encouraged racism against the Japanese that helped the government to create concentration camps where American Japanese were forcefully interned.

These camps were created in 1942 and existed until 1945. Around 90% of Japanese people living in the continental US were interned in these militarized spaces.

discrimination! they faced a lot of racism
