Nancy Wang Yuen:
There was an intentionality on the US Government to - to use Hollywood as a propaganda stick. So, a lot of cartoons were actually used in - during World War II, that portray the the Japanese as enemy. I actually saw one where Bugs Bunny, it was called, "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips." And Nips was a derogatory term for Japanese. And it portrayed them as - it was interesting, because, it portrayed them with really big feet. They were very animalistic so they had the buck teeth and the glasses; but, they also had - they were barefoot and they had these really big feet - like they were animals, right. So, its really easy, I think, to portray an entire race as - animals, you know, in order to kind of then justify killing them, right, justify killing them as an enemy. Dehumanizing them.
