I give them permission to make one 9/11 joke.

My apology on this matter is scheduled for the same press conference where Japan apologizes for what Imperial Japan did.

They’re in it too deep now. It’d be weird to suddenly apologize for events that happened 80 years ago, even though they should.

Didn't the Dutch royal family recently apologize for the horrible shit they did in Africa?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

They'd have to also apologize for denying it for 80 years at this point

To be fair, I feel like the United States is frequently in the same position on many issues.

We have acknowledged big ones like slavery, but for all of those there are many others.

Apparently they already did; the article doesn't include an image but in my imagination it's hilarious.

Twitter user @mankodaisuki58 replied to the apology with a picture of Barbie sitting on the shoulders of Osama Bin Laden in front of burning buildings in the same style as one of the original posts. It is captioned “visiting the places from movie scenes” in Japanese and “It’s going to be a summer to remember” in English.
