To be fair, from what I've read the deaths ranged from 1973 until 2000. So it's not like they were all killed in one year. Although that does not diminish their deaths in anyway, imo. If I remember correctly, they also paid over 500 mil to settle all the cases resulting from this issue, although I do not have a handy-dandy PDF file for that number
Very valid points. Hard to argue if a leopard can really change its spots or not. Different political and economic context now, though.

But we as a society give people second chances all of the time. One of the most terrifying things some of our grandfathers had to face in their youth was a Mitsubishi. Now we have Mistu and Evo fanboiis that trash anything American. Ain't that a bitch.
