... It seems like that anti-Japanese propaganda that was around during the war still survives to an extent today. It's a pity that people like Sue continue to perpetuate such nonsense <snip patronising crap What David is saying is true, not patronising. I think you are patronising for assuming that Japanese somehow live in a vacuum and do not know what went on. I am sure some Japanese think that it was just fine, but then some NZders think that being racist is just fine too, in fact some post their ignorance on this news group. Their are racists and nationalists in every society, and given the right circumstances they will perpetuate the most awful crimes, this is unfortunately human nature. However most people are not like that, and as David correctly points out, Japan was under a particularly brutal dictatorship, not participating resulted in death. Would you blame all Iraqi's for gassing the Kurds ?  All Americans for the slaughter of Indians, All Spanish for the massacre of South American Indians, all white New Zealanders for the brutal Maori Wars and on and on though out history. I suggest that instead of worrying about what went on over 50 years ago, you look at fighting interlace here so that the same ignorance is not allowed to continue. Maybe start by supporting immigration, which will result in the intermarriage and eventual assimilation of different cultures, which may result in the long term better understanding and tolerance between different cultures.

In the official Japanese worldview, the rape of Nanking never happened, and they never experimented on logs of wood (prisoners of war). Again, don't post this crap to soc.culture.japan. You apes sicken Japanese people and spread bad diseases. LOL.  Piss off Nip It's cute. Is that how you pink-skinned hairy dirty apes call us? Nip = Niponese. Not really an insult. No one needs to insult you because everyone but yourself recognises that you are mentally defective.

It seems the best way to cheat and escape from reality for racists is to label someone as insane like you do.
