    My point is that the Japanese government is illegitimate and more importantly, that most Japanese people are brainwashed to a such a degree that it affects the sense of self

      That still has fuck all to do with an asian guy being attacked in NY because of mUh cHiNa bAd propaganda.

      But god forbid that the US actually take responsibility for their shitty actions, right? Keep on trucking.

        I mean the main intention of my comment was to show the conflicting realities of "racist white american government" and "Japanese nation still loving them despite this"

        People will see this story, think "oh too bad", or if they're fashy even have some anti-Chinese thoughts, and then go on continuing their pro-US mental existence.

        Obviously this doesn't apply to the minority of people there who oppose the US.

          Me: "Hey comrades, this japanese guy just got the shit beaten out of him by a bunch of racist dipshits who mistook him for a chinese person. This is what anti-chinese propaganda leads to!"

          You: "But japan bad tho."

            Not really, I'm just wondering out loud how many more of these will have to happen before any sort of real anti-US sentiment becomes apparent.

              You just provided data that shows 29% of the japanese people are anti-us. That's like 40 million people, and that seems pretty fucking "real" to me.

              Not that it matters, because that has nothing to do with this post at all (why is that so difficult for you to understand?), but still.

              Holy shit, what is even going on rn.

                I also provided data that 67% of Japanese people are pro-US. that's like 90 million people

                  Ok, cool.

                  Now explain to me what that has to do with a japanese person getting beat up in NY because of anti-chinese propaganda.

                  Tie your arguments into the story I posted. Please.

                    Easy. If I was Japanese (which means I'm of Asian appearance), and I found out that people of my ethnicity were being assaulted in the US due to being mistaken as Chinese, it would make me mad at Americans.

                    I would think about the situation, and find more common ground with China.

                    Now, would you explain to me how 67% of Japanese people having a favorable view of the US is "massive pushback against it". Everything I said was a reaction to this statement of yours, so you'd better explain it first.

                For the record, I don't think the Japanese are totally unique in that aspect.

                I feel the same way about Indian Hindus who love Trump (because of his anti-Muslim rhetoric). It's cringe as fuck to look at.

                even when you’ve been given evidence that contradicts that.

                What evidence? That they approve of the US more than most western European countries?

                    Well if you google “popularity of US military bases in Japan” like I just did you’d find stuff like Ten thousand people protesting them

                    That's cool. Now why do most Japanese people have a positive view of the US?
