Don't beg for a sympathy here.. Common.. Jap did commit the worst massacre in Korea and China during the World War II. They abducted young Korean girls and made them as a war prostitutes. Japanese treated unfairly in Canada? lol Dogs will laugh at Japanese begging sympathy from Caucasians. Please stop fabricating history and have some GUT to ADMIT own history.... A big shame on Japanese government for teaching a fairy tale instead of history.

@xj85 yeah but the Japenese who were living in Canada didn't participate in the massacre...plus your saying that we as Caucasions shouldn't sympathize for people of another ethnicity when they suffer since other members of their ethnicity committed horrible crimes? Africans, Asians, and Native people must never feel sorry for us then...Caucasions don't exactly have a clean history....

okay so Pearl Harbour was, indeed, not a great event. But you have to understand that these people were completely innocent and did absolutely nothing except BE OF JAPANESE DESCENT. they were NOT a part of the decision made by the Japanese government.

and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted in not only over 100,000 deaths but generations of deaths afterward. How the fuck is that justified by "[getting] them back" for Pearl Harbour? that's ridiculous.

You obviously don't know anything about present day Canada. The Canadian people and government have appologized for the past. I have many Japanese and Chinese friends living in Canada, including Vancouver. They absolutely love it. They have never had any negative comments towards them. We can't go back in time to fix what has been done. All we can do is work towards a better future. More than I can say about Zimbabwe. If that is where you actually live.

@henerymag

Canada isn't always the villains. But we aren't exactly always the good guys either. Like most conflicts, everyone had a part in being wrong. But, what many don't realize is that apologies don't fix anything. They are words that say you recognize your wrong, but it doesn't change the pain. It doesn't change the fact that Japanese Canadians lost their heritage because of this event.

@jacob7207

LOL. Yeah, Canada joined. It wasn't just America. But before you go all bragging, the Japanese were treated worse in America than in Canada....

[kookiezMILK]

@the1994african

you are absolutely right. America didn't know the impact of the bombs. America just wanted the war to be finished. Remember, America didn't want to take part in any conflicts concerning outside countries. The only reason why America joined was because they were directly attacked. So, it's only natural that they wanted the war done with quickly and dropped some bombs. They didn't realize the huge impact.

[kookiezMILK]

@qwerty3008 I get where you are coming from, but apologies don't fix everything. It doesn't fix the fact that many Japanese Canadians abandoned their culture in fear. They married Caucasians and most Japanese I know who have generation of Canadian heritage know nothing about their culture or language because of this even.

Yeah, we need to work towards a better future, but we can't forget the past. Else, this might happen again.

[kookiezMILK]

@xj85 Yea, Japanese people IN japan did THAT. The Japanese in North America were innocent. They were treated wrong for crimes they did not commit. And that's wrong. Yeah, the government probably was fearful, but that's no excuse for the terrible conditions they lived in. Do you realize that Japanese Canadians lost their heritage after this because they were so afraid to be Japanese. They wanted to assimilate because of fear. The actions of North American leaders did this.

@ikeones Canada was in on all of that as well, so feel free...

[Henababe]

Does anyone else find it disgustingly racists when someone uses the word 'Jap'.

@crook561 Japs is a derogatory term.
