The effect, particularly given a long history of anti-Japanese sentiment, was a predictable wave of racist violence, including the destruction of Japanese cars. The beating death of Vincent Chin, a Chinese-American who was mistaken for a Japanese, also resonated historically, recalling a pseudo-scientific article on how to distinguish the Chinese from the Japanese that Life magazine published in December 1941.
这样做的效果——特别是在长时间的反日情绪酝酿之后——不难预测，那就是种族主义暴力潮，其中就包括砸毁日本车。华裔美国人陈果仁（Vincent Chin）因被误认为日本人而遭殴打致死，这也可以说是历史的回音，让人想起了1941年12月号《生活》（Life）杂志上刊登的关于如何区分日本人和中国人的毫无科学根据的文章。
