Insensitive Tweets of the Day: In what should come as a surprise to nobody, approximately .012 seconds after the final whistle of Thursday’s USA vs. Japan gold medal soccer match, an onslaught of racially-charged tweets hit the Interwebs. Because sports and war tragedies are equal in the minds of some knuckleheads, many tweets declared the 2-1 outcome — in favor of the United States — “payback for Pearl Harbor.” Realistically, it was payback for a shootout loss in last year’s World Cup final, but even in that case, the tweet storm which ensued trumpeted the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Japan Daily News has compiled a bunch of the offending tweets, for the entire world to see.

Jesus fucking Christ, people are still like this!? This is why other countries fucking hate us!!!! You guys should see some of these tweets…this makes me want to cry… D’: That war ended over 60 YEARS AGO! Yes, I’m American, but my ancestors are Japanese, too. Winning the war was ‘the payback’. I hate these ignorant motherfuckers…sorry for the cussing, but this is one thing that pisses me off to no fucking end.. >:|
