over what transpired in ww2. They invaded countries, raped, tortured, killed prisoners,slavery, forced sex slaves... And now, they feel no shame over the past,and have no interest in the past. We, the Japanese, were the victims, we suffered, the past is past , move on. They rewrite history , very little is written about Japanese ww2 actions and responsibility for the war and how troops and leaders behaved. The Germans, apparently recognize what was done in the past by Germany. I have heard that there are neo- Nazi in Germany and anti-semitism is increasing,however.
A woman's son was dating an asian and I commented that Asian women, as a whole, seemed very nice. She said, that was then, this is now. The culture is different now. They are very materialistic and self centered.Amer-Asians are now immersed in American culture, and behave as badly as any other American does.
The Japanese surrendered not because of the atomic bomb ( There was nothing left to bomb) but because the Russians were coming and very close. They had planned to negotiate until they had very favorable terms, only then would they surrender.
The above is my take on what I have read. Correct me or inform me as you will.
Edit: Just read on Quora that the Japanese Navy in 1943, issued direct order to kill all survivors of ships. Most subs and surface ships had been doing just that. Aircrew and ship survivors were shot, machine gunned, tortured, beheaded, killed with hammers... Naturally, there were no survivors to tell tales. Estimated 20000 Brits and Aussies were murdered in this way. Only one naval captain was prosecuted. The Japanese-such an ancient and civilized race. The Germans were quite murderous to races they were not partial to. The Japanese were murderous to all non-Japanese.
Met a crazy red head once;She had a thing for japanese men from Japan. Each to his or her own. I have known a few Americans of Japanese descent; Very nice people , as almost all would be.WW2, was a long time ago. Current populations cannot be blamed for the past. And, I do not.
