Hmm, your deductions regarding the falsified nature of this scene are astoundingly accurate. Where did you obtain such acute observation skills? |

Is it just me, or does that look kind of set up, and the 'chef'/operator not look very convincing, almost like he's intentionally dramatically dressed up for, ya know, a photo or something? And while I'm not sure what opium dens looked like, the area looks awfully nice especially when that sofa wouldn't last long with people nodding out and dropping stuff all over it.
Also, that looks like a conveniently dramatic position for someone to pass out in, looking more like someone shot her than that she got high and nodded off...pipe falling perfectly right next to her right in the photo and all. Who just gets knocked out cold like that? Not to mention chances are no one there would be ok with a reporter taking pictures of that during wartime.
I don't know, I'm thinking this is purely, 100% propaganda. pictures and all. Unfortunately though this really was a different time, so sure it's racist; but back then people were a lot more ok with that. |

Opium is actually pretty interesting. But i dont really see how they can compare it to cocaine fairly. Heroin is a different story though... |

I don't think propaganda against enemy countries during a world war counts as "racism".
If that was today, it would totally be racist. But in that context, I don't know... |

lyckosam- apartheid occurred in south africa, not the united states. unless you mean apartheid in a non historical context and are just referring to racism in general, then yes, some 'apartheid' did exist in the united states. |

We were no racist that any other country at the time. Then again why should we feel sympathy towards a country that attacked us the way they did at pearl harbor. This PC poo is modern censorship anyway |

HA Ha, Jap Dope. The guy is wearing a chinese outfit, and is a Japanese as John Wayne.
I have a great aunt that I just have to smile and nod at the words that come from her mouth, of course she suffers from dementia, so she really is living at the time of this picture. |
