Where does he blame the Jews? I am pretty sure that he isn't saying the Jews don't deserve the sympathy they are getting. His point is that the others deserve just as much sympathy. And your point about maybe in his house is stupid. In the West, the Chinese tragedy hardly gets covered in history books. I am sure that in China it is well presented, but it is grossly underpresented here in the West. That was his point. There are tons of holocaust museums in the US and England, and they deserve to be there, however I don't think there are any museums to the genocide of the Chinese people in either country. Way to twist people's words to make them look like a jackass...
