Nor would I say this desecrates WWII veterans. It would desecrate WWII veterans if they built memorials of Japanese victims of the war, as they were the aggressors. If it desecrates WWII veterans due to the comfort women not being American citizens, it would place Holocaust memorials in the same category, as the same with memorials regarding the Rwandan Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, etc. As with the location being in Cupertino, Samsung does not represent Korea, no more than Apple represents the USA. There are plenty of Korean workers for Apple, and being liberals, I can guarantee that the high-ranking officials of Apple won't mind a memorial regarding oppressed people. Personally, I believe you are writing these accusations out of your contempt for non-Japanese Asians. Remember that the Japanese are not perfect people and are prone to as much faults as any people on earth. Criticism constitutes a valuable lesson, and therefore should not be shunted off and result in being offended or mistaken as a direct insult. Rather this monument memorializes victims, and is not built for accusing the perpetrators. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
