    I can’t speak to Russia or China, but Japan has a history of xenophobia going back CENTURIES. It’s not exactly a newsflash.

      China is trying to erase any non-Han culture and Russia has a long history of ethnic cleansing.

      Japan has its issues, but are ahead of the other two. They’ve even started acknowledging the Aniu, partly because they realized tourists are interested in them, but take the wins we can get in progress.

      True, also: from what I understand, Korea has been historically worse.

      Even still, it’s a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.
