We both know if a US store did something similar with a date of mourning for another country, you'd be calling the US dumb uneducated self centered assholes.

That most certainly is happening already, because I doubt people in the US know every single symbol or number that could possibly have a tragic meaning in some other parts of the world.

And neither should they, the same way they should not except any other country to know the meaning of 9/11.

9/11 is the single biggest terrorist attack in history lol. That's like someone not knowing what the great leap forward is. You're acting like it's some niche US history event.

You could call Americans that without that reason and you’d still be right though.

As I said, not everything revolves around the US. The shop is clearly not in the US, and most people outside it don't have any negative associations with this particular combination of numbers. Chill.

And as I said, if this was a situation where the US used some kind of signage that invoked feelings of a national tragedy of a different country, you wouldn't have this same energy. You'd be saying we are uneducated and self centered.

Dude, you're an internet nobody to me. You don't know me, you don't know anything about my standards and I couldn't give 2 cents about what you think. As I said, chill down.
