See how Americans recognized Japanese and Chinese during World War II.
The extract Chinese word in figure is as follows:
Ryan, you and Terry have been in China for a long time, tell your brothers how to distinguish between Japanese devils and our Eastern allies!
Here were the two men the patrol had just brought back. The first thing to pay attention to is the appearance. (Chinese is Middle C, and Japanese Devils is Japanese J.) Note that Chinese head is about the same size as a standard American; The devil is shorter, and his legs seem to grow directly from his chest!
Chinese skin is bronze, while the devil is slightly lighter, closer to lemon yellow. Chinese eyes looked similar to those of European Americans, but were visibly squinting, while the devil's eyes were crooked in the direction of their noses.
Chinese has a smooth skin and a beard. Pay attention to their sides and teeth. Chinese teeth are flat, and the devils are teethy.
Chinese will smile and squint. Devils tend to wait for death and resentful. Especially if he were an officer!
The devils may be in the crowd of any ordinary people in the East, which is their best infiltration trick. Tell the person you catch to take a few steps, Chinese will take a big step, and the devil will drag himself (but he will also pretend to be a big step if he is smart enough). If he wears shoes and socks, tell him to take them off...
