Celebrating the horible death of two or three hundred thousand people's seams rather offensive. The joke also has racist conotations. Whats the point other then to expres disdain and hatred for the japanese people.

I can't find any numbers over 75,000. Not that 75,000 isn't a ton of people, but no need to exaggerate it. Feel free to post some links showing estimates up to 300,000 people.


To show it isn't a race thing:

Q: How many people from Dresden can you fit in a mini?
A: About 25000 if you've got a shovel

Fine.
I did not lookup the exact numbers. Just that there is a lot more demonstrated hatred and action towards asian people since the covid thing started. Ill leave it at that.

According to figures published in 1945, 66,000 people were killed as a direct result of the Hiroshima blast, and 69,000 were injured to varying degrees.[37]
Of those deaths, 20,000 were members of the Imperial Japanese Army.[38]

It's off color, certainly, but I don't see how it's celebrating death. I can see how it could be perceived as racist, but I guess I take it more as simply insensitive? Maybe two sides to the same coin.

The reality is that multiple thousands more Americans would have died if we had to beat Japan conventionally.

Yeah, sometimes things are funny because they are so cringe/off color.

Americans and Japanese. The bombs were horrible but they saved a ton of lives. Even after the two bombs, there was a large segment of the military that wanted to fight on and was planning a coup.

Since then the bomb has saved millions more by preventing world war 3, let's all just hope everyone remains too afraid of it to use one again.

Turkey should be so proud of this man. José Andrés and Burak Özdemir both deserve some kind of Nobel prize IMO.
