How do you find playtesters?

Most of my "insight" comes from watching countless depictions of japanese and african people in media during this time period, so this is just an observation (not a personal opinion). I also grew up in the south, if that means anything.

The anti japanese sentiment was definitely strong during ww2, with many films depicting them as ruthless and evil (in Destination Tokyo Cary Grant says they are literally incapable of love), but I'm not sure they were ever seen as literal animals the way blacks were (by some/many).

The japanese were seen as mean, but they were technologically advanced and culturally rich. They were a worthy opponent for us in war. A far cry from the primal/tribal person many thought of when they saw a black person.

I've never gotten the impression the two were "lumped together", though both faced harsh racism in different ways.
