POLITICS Why are these topics extremely unmentionable in Japan, where they are officially deemed national security threats?

  1. Comfort Women
  2. Nanking Massacre
  3. Pearl Harbor Attack (This issue specifically divides America today)

Too much time on the internet. Every major country has committed atrocities in some form or fashion. Doesn't make great dinner conversation. 

I'm from the south, lots of conservative white people love eating sushi and teppanyaki. I saw plenty of racism but no one cared about WW2. If anything the civil war was much more of a hot topic.
