My dad lost his house to the Japanese in WWII.

I suspected that you might have had an unfortunate story like that in your past. Folks who disagree with WW II reparations, and say "let bygones be bygones", are usually those who have lost nothing.

Does your theory extend to descendants of US slaveholders?

My dad named me after his brother, who died on the Bataan Death March, in the Philippines. I do not hold present day Japanese responsible for that, and I do not expect reparations.
