give it to them, and it is just such unspeakable white (if you are) trash as yourself that give them that idea. If you love
the Japs then go to Japan and live with them and don’t pollute the air with your foul stupid breath and make the rest of us
the laughing stock of the yellow Japs. I hope and believe there are enough Americans left in the country to keep it white and I hope next time they will do something more drastic than paint a sign on your garage. That is, if the sneering Jap
does not disembowel you first. You a white man, know [?] and bowing? down to a heathen Jap. You make me sick to my stomache [sic]. I hope he will follow the good old Japanese custom and slip plenty of bamboo slivers
into your fruit so you and your family will all die of cancer. Just remember, you stupid fool, he hates you, and is just waiting until Japan takes over - he thinks. When our boys come back they will even out all you sickening Jap

his purpose. Youre reference to us that do not love the Japs as un-American, I think you are far less an American and misguided. We are at war with the Japs, whether you
know it or not and there is no similarity in your comparison as to us and the Nazis as to treatment of the Jews. I dread to think what would have happened to this coast if the dirty Japs had not been carted
