They (as ALL nations do) have a media corps and traitorous (to THEIR nation) element working just as WE do here in the USA.
Are all Americans racist?
According to the media structure we are, and if that's all other nations see ... then that's their take on us.
You’re engaging in moral equivocation. Germany has paid reparations to it’s victims and still continues to do so. Successive Japanese governments have never done so. This isn’t a question of racism although the Japanese did engage in racial genocide in WW2. This is about a nation accepting it’s responsibility in being an aggressor in a war it deliberately provoked , owning up the the horrible atrocities it committed and making restitution, beyond verbal apologies, to it’s victims.
