Tadataka Unno, a New York-based Japanese jazz pianist, was assaulted by eight youths at a subway station on Sept 27. It’s now unclear whether the 40-year-old, who suffered serious injuries, including a broken collarbone, will be able to return to performing again. According to the New York Police Department, the incident occurred at around…

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

    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.

            You just provided data that shows 29% of the japanese people are anti-us.

            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?

                      No, you're just really bad at keeping track of your own arguments. I'll repeat them to you.

                      There is massive pushback from the actual people of japan against US bases. Their cucked by the US right wing government does not give a shit tho.

                      Using your logic, I can claim "massive pushback" against anything, and I can say there's massive pushback against US anti-China propaganda, because I can find a hundred thousand people on Nathan Rich's channel or something.

                      I cited numbers showing that Japanese people are 67% pro and 29% anti US. For some inexplicable reason, you are choosing to say that this 29% anti-US sentiment qualifies as "massive pushback", when almost every country in the world has such percentages. That's worse than the fucking UK.

                      You also claimed that they are simply "cucked by the US right wing government", but the numbers clearly show that the vast majority of Japanese people SUPPORT the US. You are ignoring this because you are angry, for some reason.

                      My point was simply to illustrate that there is not "massive Japanese pushback" against the US government, which was your initial claim. Somehow this has become racist now.

                          People in the US continue assaulting Japanese people because they hate Asians so much, and Japanese people look like Chinese people (whom the US especially hates)

                          the nation of Japan continues supporting the US, and opposing China, and the majority of Japanese people continue having a favorable and unfavorable view of these nations, respectively

                          It's a massive non sequitir. Apparently pointing this out is racist now.

                                  Yes, it's a joke that takes the anti-Asian, anti-Chinese and anti-Japanese sentiment of the US government AND the US populace, and juxtaposes it with the apparent willingness of Japan to host the US.

                                  It's not JUST a joke, I was obviously completely serious about the intention behind the joke.
