Why does America think that the situation in Japan is a joke?

I blame Gilbert Gottfried.

Don't lump us all in together just because of a few jerks.

I feel really bad for the people in Japan, and I would never joke about what is happening to them. Please don't lump us all in with the uneducated bigots who are saying terrible things about the Japanese and what is happening to them.

where the hell did you get that idea, we are sending support and help and are trying to help save who and what we can, it's not a joke it's a horrific event that took place that needs attention and they need help and that's what we are doing is giving them help, so please explain to me how that makes us think it's a joke?

The Aflac duck does not speak for all of America.
America does not think the horrible catastrophe in Japan is a joke.
This question is very ignorant.

Just because its not them. Im american and im ashamed of it. Ive done everything but actually gone to japan and physically helped out. (as in donating) If it happened to america, it would seem a lot worse to everyone else because they are more caring.
