4000 Chinese non-combatants had been killed every day for the past eight years, and another 4000 non-combatants (Filipinos, Indonesians, Burmese, Rōmusha) were being killed every single day for the past 44 months. The non-combatants killed in two atomic bombs didn't equate to an average month of non-combatant deaths during WW2 in the Pacific, and yet the Japanese seem to be the only victims of the war despite only suffering ~5% of non-combatant deaths.
