You’re speaking from a position of ignorance. The common Japanese person knew almost nothing about war atrocities. News was incredibly tightly controlled by the Japanese government during WW2. There was almost no alternative press, there was no pirate radio in Japan, etc.
“Position of ignorance”?
Every damned one of them knew what was going on! Why do you think there were so many Koreans there? They were enslaved and brought to japan to do their dirty work after ‘colonizing’ Korea. The Japanese were running over all their neighboring countries for decades. And ‘who knew’? I could go on for pages.
Give me a break. Your willful ignorance is pathetic.
Just stop, they were deep into Emperor worship and as adults are responsible, they knew their fellow sons and fathers as soldiers and information was not a complete vacuum. Your logic is the same weak excuse used by NAZIs and German citizens for lack of accountability.
The culture absolutely was bitterly xenophobic and a supremist caste system enforced to its core. Culture matters and theirs enabled those atrocities. Take your liberal bedwetting apologetics elsewhere.
The only ignorance was yours assuming I am not informed of that Japanese period historically and culturally.

Yet more totally unsupported left wing spew from the #1 marxist troll at FR.
Talk about speaking from ignorance! Pot, kettle, black.
