It’s all the same bullshit as six sigma with their black belts and shit. Or if you are devops the utter trash called “Agile”.

Shame on you!

You're taking food out of the mouths of the children of Management Consultants with your reckless disregards for the latest corporate management fad!

They didn't invent the idea of comic books either, so why do we call them "manga" if they come from Japan?

Wait until you meet the minister that is a Prime. He looks like a holy Transformer just crushing sinners. He transforms into the pope mobile.

Hell correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the most infamous examples of this that the government refuses to admit the unit 731 existed?

When I was in uni, a Japanese friend told me Korean comfort women are cash grabbers and Japan has done enough even though it is "in the past".

I don’t think it’s that worse than other countries tbh. It’s amplified by the fact that it’s an island so foreigners are scarce and a lot of them are there for weeb tourism and may not be the best to interact with, but racism is a constant in most countries all around the world.

They do need to acknowledge their war crimes though, sure. I agree Nationalism is definitely a bigger issue in Japan than in most other countries.

So, I knew a girl who went to a Japanese international school in my South East Asian home country where the Japanese did some utterly horrendous things during WWII. She told me the school took them to a war museum kinda place on a field trip and basically shouted at them like "LOOK AT WHAT YOUR PEOPLE DID!" until the whole room of grade school kids were crying about how sorry they were. So at least outside of Japan there seems to be some (perhaps over the top) education about the atrocities committed by the Japanese government to Japanese students, but I agree, most of the Japan educated Japanese people I've spoken to are just vaguely aware that they did some bad stuff before they got nuked.

Pretty sure it's satire. A country that made Ninja assassin's surely can't have such concepts.

Not the op, but since you seem serious, I think a better way of wording it would be, "spent centuries at war and attempted to genocide a few cultures". So, aside from the fact that most of the history of Japan is just waring states and almost never ending infighting, you can look into the Imjin War for Japan's first attempt at conquering the mainland in the 1500s. It would also be worth looking into their conquest and/or eradication of the Ainu, Emishi, Ryūkyū Kingdom.
