Not even remotely comparable. Yasukuni is a shrine for all the Japanese war dead, similar to Arlington. The vast majority who visit to not do so to honor WWII war criminals.

Jewish lives are just worth a lot more than those poor Asians. Japan killed far more lives than Nazi Germany, yet it is not even a sensitive topic in western culture.
No, the Nazis win there by a fair margin.
Quote:
An estimated 11 to 17 million civilians died either as a direct or as an indirect result of Nazi ideological policies, including the systematic genocide of around 6 million Jews during the Holocaust, along with the murder of 5 to 6 million ethnic Poles and other Slavs (including Ukrainians and Belorussians), Roma, homosexuals, and other ethnic and minority groups. Hundreds of thousands (varying estimates) of ethnic Serbs, along with Roma and Jews, were murdered by the Axis-aligned Croatian Ustaše in Yugoslavia and retribution-related killings were committed after the war ended.
In Asia and the Pacific, between 3 million and more than 10 million civilians, mostly Chinese (estimated at 7.5 million), were killed by the Japanese occupation forces.

Def not real smart for ANYBODY doing the nazi salute thing in Germany in 2017, especially in front of a building that was a BIG part of German history when Hitler and his boys were around. Even being NOT "white" won't protect those Chinese dudes who did that.
