I'm not ignoring it, but context matters.

Is funny to me that the Japanese of the time would be less offended by the pro-white racism, and more offended that this white guy who they would see as clearly ignorant, dared to lump them in with the Chinese.

[(Anonymous)]

The Japanese were racist again the Chinese and vice versa and nobody denies that. This racism explains atrocities like the Rape of Nanking.

But I keep seeing that the dropping of the bomb "has nothing to do with race!". Why on earth is the racism of the person who ordered to drop the bomb on people he considered /subhuman/ not up to examination?

[(Anonymous)]

Because…the Japanese were never under threat of extermination?

Like…the US occupied Japan but it's not like a genocidal rampage occurred.

You could more easily make this argument about Stalin and Eastern Europe.

Yeah, the US was racist. Yeah, the US bombed the shit out of Japan.

Germany also had the shit bombed out of it.

Plus, Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945. The atomic bomb's first detonation test was JULY 16th of that year -- 1945. So of course it wasn't going to be used on Germany -- Germany had already surrendered.

According to this document:

The original target was the Japanese FLEET because if the bomb failed to go off, it would go into the ocean, making it more difficult to salvage. Also, Japan didn't have the same nuclear program that the Nazis did, making the risk of secrets being uncovered much, much smaller.

These seem, by every measure, to be PRACTICAL concerns.
