Why do people look back on Pearl Harbor as some sort of 1940s 9/11?

It wasn't an attack on civilians, it was an attack only a bunch of military warships that were parked in Hawaii after Japan declared war a few minutes prior to the attack. We would've done the same thing if we had been facing a nation much more powerful than we were.

Maybe its the fact that its on American soil. People really need to understand that this isn't a land crowded for space and soil isn't sacred. When you live elsewhere in the world, there's a chance that you are going to be on the same spot your family has been for ages. In the United States? It might be two generations back, at most.

I mean shit, if you're going to blame the Japanese for anything in World War 2, that whole Rape of Manchuria thing was a pretty big deal. Oh wait, they aren't white people. Nevermind.

These tweets are why people need not white friends. If you have only white friends, and most of them are men, you're going to act like a racist asshole because there's nobody there to look at you and get personally offended.
