The really sad thing is that it was probably taken during WWII, when every Oriental (Japanese or otherwise) was a suspected enemy, making it more of McCarthy-ish paranoia than just ignorance. Not unlike the way people of Middle Eastern descent are sometimes treated today.
I would joke that “apparently they don’t welcome Jewish American Princesses” but actually there’s no irony – because they probably wouldn’t welcome Jewish people either.
At any rate, it really doesn’t promote racism as a tonic for beauty… Like, eat right, sleep well and hate other people will keep you looking youthful forever.

We’ll all hate the fat white people who enslaved our people for so long. That is, IF the human race still exists to hate one another.

Canada did the same. I’ve toured an internment camp in New Denver, BC.
