It isn't racism - it was provoked by Japanese worship of their war criminals, most of whom were never trialed. Also its a cry against "Japanese cultural imperialism". Its like "American cultural imperialism" except you get cartoons instead of McDonalds.

While I don't particularly support this anti-Japanese hysteria in Asia, you have to remember that Japan is 75% responsible for the actions against them; all they have to do is apologise and pay compensation to everyone they harmed, and the matter will be over. 50 million people murdered isnt something you can dismiss.

Firstly, how did you get the 75% figure?
Secondly, my grandparents had first hand experience of the Japanese invasion, so I do understand the horrors involved. But putting up messages like "JAPS EAT SHIT" will not help to solve anything. Or does it?

Harness the power of Ingsoc, then you can capture someone killed the year before
