why exactly is a Jewish guy getting pissed over Pearl Harbor

See: Jews fought at Pearl Harbor

Pvt. Lewis Schleifer at Hickam Field fired his weapon at a Japanese plane coming straight on until he fell mortally wounded. Lee Goldfarb, a radioman on the USS Oglala, was at his battle station when his ship was struck by a torpedo and sank.

why exactly is a Chinese guy getting pissed over the Titanic?

See Chinese Sailors on the Titanic:

Eight men, all Sailors from Hong Kong, boarded the Titanic together at Southampton with third class ticket #1601 at a cost of £56 9s 11d.

Six of the men: Lee Bing, Chang Chip, Choong Foo, Ling Hee, Ali Lam and Fang Lang survived the sinking. Very little is known about them and there is disagreement over which boats they escaped in. Four of the men are thought to have escaped in Collapsible C, one possibly in lifeboat 13 and the sixth was picked up from the water by the sailors in lifeboat 14.

On page number 152 of "Titanic - An Illustrated History" by Don Lynch, there is a paragraph:

"Soon after the men got to their feet, Chief Baker Charles Joughin, who had stepped blithely off the stern as the Titanic sank, came swimming up to the boat. Miraculously, he had been paddling around in the water for two hours, oblivious to the cold. Undoubtedly he owed his survival to the considerable amount of alcohol he had consumed before the sinking, which had functioned as an effective antifreeze".

Or for those of you without an extensive book colletion of the Titanic, there's the "Encyclopedia Titanica" with their section on the Baker

"It was Joughin who fortified himself with alcohol, threw deck chairs overboard for flotation devices, rode the stern down and claims to have stepped into the water without getting his hair wet. He claims to have hung on to the side of Collapsible B for hours with most of his body submerged in the icy water, yet survived with virtually no ill effects."

- Encyclopedia Titanica: Chief Baker: Charles John Joughin [www.encyclopedia-titanica.org] Accessed Sun Jun 30 16:58:23 2002.

You may have also seen the movie "Titanic". When the stern is about to go under, they show the baker with a hip flask drinking.

This is not an urban legend. I'm sure there are a lot more sources that could back me on this also.
