RE: Sorry this is long
I don't really hate Japanese. The book just really affected me and I just got done with it. Every race has people who did bad things and people who do good things. The important thing to remember is we are all God's children.

How so?

Because you're only taking into account certain cultural things. And even then

You did because now you "understand". Like you really don't understand.

Understanding what caused it doesn't excuse it.

I don't think it would do either of those things. Nor did I ever say it would.
