The Germans werent the only subjects of American racism during World War II. In fact the Japanese probably got it worse than the German, as Germans were much more similar to the average American in appearance than the Japanese. During World War II, Comic creators had no problem using their stories to boot American moral, and during the Golden Age, Captain Marvel was the most popular Superhero of his day, even outselling the Man of Steel. Therefore, it should not be surprising to see the giant-sized Big Red Cheese swatting cartoon Japanese soldiers as if they were flies.
