,mostly due to their conquests around the time of WW2. The enmity between the Japanese and Chinese is almost like the deep hate between Paki's and Indians. All lingering effects of colonialism as you mentioned.
Anything I can read about this? Or can you quickly tell us that don't know? What did they do?
. There were many more massacres during the Japanese occupation of Asia but that might be the most well known.
Look up the "Rape of Nanjing" for starters. One of the worst atrocities of the war comitted against Chinese families including countless women and children
ROFL, that's how one of the arguments started. The girls didn't have an accent at all, their English vernacular was with perfect pronunciation. One of them got irritated and spoke another Asian language. The manager was Chinese, after he couldn't understand them, he ignored most of their request. Most of the people were Chinese, and that's when the demeaning insults from the girls started and the Chinese people start giving our section the side eye.
Words sound very familiar.

This was obviously a horrible act the Japanese committed, but you need to let that stuff go. It was done decades ago and not happening anymore. Yeah, it would be nice if Japan owned up to what they did, but they won't. People need to move on and let love in.

I'm not caught up on that though tbh,just giving some backstory. What I believe is that if even Germany can apologize for the actions of the Nazis,there's NO reason why Japan can't for their atrocities. It's still important and relevant nowadays because it's still a huge wedge issue in the way of, improved Sino-Japanese,Korean-Japanese,Pinoy-Japanese etc, relations.

It was easier for the Germans to own up to it, because their actions were widely known. Not many people are familiar with some of the war crimes Japan committed.
Honoring war criminals? So I see they took a page from the US playbook. And I strongly disagree with Germany being forward about how things went down; better than Japan maybe, but that's about it.
What was his reason behind it? Was it contextual or pertinent to the conversation?
. Just saying that at least they've expressed some sympathy for all the suffering they caused in the past. It's not much but it's something they've at least acknowledged unlike Japan.
It really wasn't pertinent to the conversation, but he was mentioning how his kids are often picked on for looking different.
Absolutely. But I'm confused why this is directed at me, maybe because of my name. Oh I'm not German, I just own a Stihl tool.
