@saab,
I agree and I apologise.
It was right wing racist rednecks I had in mind really, and those who rate Christians or Americans or white people of greater value than other humans, but even then I imagine almost all are sympathetic to the plight of the Japanese right now, and therefore it was a very low thing to say.
In my defence, inappropriate humour is often my way of dealing with appalling horror such as this.
Nevertheless, I'm sorry I said it.
