Okay, setting aside the war propaganda, let's instead consider one of my favorite films, that still was deeply offensive in the way it treats asians:

Sixteen Candles' portrayal of a Chinese foreign exchange student (as portrayed by a Japanese-American actor) is pretty bad. In retrospect, it could not be done today. It is on the same level, in my opinion, as this shirt.

Of course, then again, John Hughes movies are very over the top when it comes to all social groups: one of the reasons they're awesome.
