Previously Unknown Prejudice Against Japanese Surfaces During Game Of Battleship

SAN FRANCISCO—An otherwise unremarkable game of Battleship, the time-honored naval-themed contest of double-blind coordinate prediction, resulted in a completely unheralded display of anti-Japanese bias by participant Ronald Clark, 39. “I thought you’d guess G-5, you clever Nip bastards,” Clark muttered under his breath loudly enough to be heard by everyone in the family living room. “Good with numbers, aren’t you, you slanty-eyed yellow bug-eaters?” Sources close to Clark later noted that when playing Monopoly, he usually refused to purchase property in cheaper, lower-rent neighborhoods because the “fucking beaners always trash the places anyway.”
