Re: Now if Belgians would spend several centuries in Ghetto's only to lose half of its people at Babyi Yar's and Gas Chambers and survive, perhaps they would earn their place in history...
Did the 10 million Congolese who were exterminated by Belgian colonialists from the 1890s onwards earn their place in history?? (*)
Anyway, I strongly believe that, in matters of such gravity, we should not throw statistics at each other's face. I mean, in 1937, there were only 700 million Chinese, but does it mean that the millions who were massacred by the Japanese count for nothing?? Where do you set your "compassion threshold" for the Chinese's plight? At 100 million casualties??
It's not a matter of numbers, Goldsnow, it's a matter of racism --the Japanese viewed (and some still view) the Chinese as monkeys...
