America's Bombing of Japan Wasn't Racist

For the past year, as the woke movement has gained prominence, I've seen articles about how racist America was to drop two atomic bombs on Japan. HOWEVER, did you know that America's atomic bomb program began as a retaliatory measure against GERMANY and the Nazis - NOT Japan? I didn't. I suspect most liberal journalists don't, either. It's more convenient for them to presume America is an evil empire. Turns out, America's bombing of Japan was not racist after all, but humanitarian, as history has long taught us.

Norwegian commandos sabotaged the Vemork chemical plant during World War II
to disrupt the Nazi's atomic bomb program.  America and Germany were leaders
in the atomic race, focused on the European theater, not the Pacific.
