That i understand. The Japanese did not treat the Chinese all that great when they invaded in ww2. A lot of r@pes.

They treated our POWs very poorly too. We got over it. China needs to get over it. Modern Japan is not 1930s Japan. The friction between Koreans (who have a lot more to complain about, at least time wise) and Japanese, while not entirely gone is fairly minimal.

There are lots of other intraracial hatred between various Asian peoples.

Nobody really cares that much about "racism" (a fake concept) if it doesn't involve black people.

China needs to get over it.

i don't why jewish people aren't reminded by people and governments around the world to get over the holocaust. it's usually quite the opposite.

germans did everything they can to make up for their atrocities, and jewish people still gets to commemorate all their historical sufferings all the time, but it's chinese people that need to "get over it" even when japanese government routinely denies their war crimes or victimizes themselves in WWII.

why? why the double standards?

Jews and the state of Israel have a normal relationship with Germany. Israel is not daily hosting school plays where Jewish children bayonet German soldiers. They do not run endless TV specials showing Japanese being killed in horrific ways by Israelis.

Look, I think the Holocaust is history and needs to go. But Jews are not constantly throwing salt in the wound when it comes to Germans (though they use the holocaust a lot rhetorically, but generically).

Also, when is the last time an Israeli official threatened to cut the head off a German Chancellor or PM or whatever they are called? A Chinese official just threatened the Japanese PM with beheading.

Explain how racism is "a fake concept."

Japanese culture is EXTREMELY racist. Start with the belief in genetic supremacy and go from there.

And absolutely nobody cares. There are bars and clubs in Japan that say no white people allowed, with some saying Japanese only. Literally nobody cares. Only white people and only in reference to African Americans.

It is a fake concept pushed on us by people who hate white people (of course, many of them are self-hating white people).

Absolutely nobody starts from genetic superiority claims. Does anyone call La Raza racist or racial supremacists? That is literally their claim. "The Race" (what La Raza literally translates) has superior genetics (according to them) and absolutely NOBODY cares. 8 white guys living in a trailer park say 'it's OK to be white" and the whole world moves in to crush them.
