What if the Nuclear bombs were used on Germany?

Pardon me but what do you mean by "It is sick, but frankly the leaders of the war would have much less of a problem in explaining a million white deaths than a million asian deaths." ???

meaning that germany was much closer to the western community than the japanese were. Dont get me wrong there was much communication involved between japan and the west, for many decades actually, but mostly it was just western exploitation. Nations like America were not too fond of the japanese, and it was not just because they were the enemy, but because the japanese were much more exotic to the americans than the germans, and less understood, so there was a potential for great racism if not careful. It makes me sick to think of america like that but it is true. For instance, if you look at the propaganda that we were pushing out during the war, and not all bad and lots were goood for moral boosts, but there were some that were horrible. Many things done would dehumanize the axis powers, but no group was treated as bad as the japanese. You could see posters outside recruiting offices that showed horribly twisted forms of japanese people that were obviously racist. Below the person it would say things like "get your free jap hunting liscence". This wasent done to the germans though. ALso just look at comic books of that age. The germans were portrayed as "regular" people, but the japanese that the superheroes faught against were horribly caracatured and made fun of.

those are just examples of something that is obvious to historians. It could get really bad and I know this is just my opinion, but I dont think it should be discounted so simply.

Everyone is racist to some extent....

yes TMA is correct I have seen the "jap this and jap that"  slurs but i dont recall any racist posters or anything of the germans or italians.

However.... i have seen gay-bashing posters of Hitler bending over and Mussolini having anal sex with him.

So its not like they didnt make fun of the Germans or Italians

Dumb Scout you need to get a life and try and be a little more constructive in your answers and not just plain stupid, this post is NOT about grammer you fool, its about a serious topic, about nuclear bombs,and the possable destruction of germany in ww2, also these boards are not formal boards where everyone has to check there spelling, (idiot)they are INFORMAL, do you understand that word ? or are you gona go look it up in a dictionary and then run your answer through microsoft words spell check,

Try and stick to the topic Dumb Scout, and not picking fault with other people.

You wanted me to be constructive, I was constructive. Helping you with your abominable grammer, attempting to make a point relevent to the topic, not calling you names as you seem so happy to do to me. I for one think that's more constructive than calling people idiots.

Two of you->shush....

I guess this discussion should end before those 2 little toddlers get into a bigger catfight. Anyway, there isn't much more to discuss.
