The only “atrocity” academics want to see is the racism of Americans against the Japanese in WWII.

We made cartoons of them with buck-teeth and slanty eyes... They think that’s a greater crime than everything Felton describes in his book.

Some of those cartoons were of their fellow Americans (of Japanese descent).

While not even close to the same level, you can criticize two (or more) things at once.

And much of the developed world is aware of the heinousness of Japanese atrocities during World War 2; they should push much harder for Japan to own up to it, though.
