Why is it Germans get spared in the question (it asked about Nazi contributions, not German) but they paint the Japanese with the same broad brush.
If the question was “what were the contributions made by the Axis countries” I wouldn’t have called it out. It’s a reasonable question.
Insert women, or African Americans, or any other minority in place of “the Japanese”, and you’ll see why it reads as bigoted.
Oh, that's totally fair to call out, but to be honest, I didn't understand what you meant the first time.
