I know that you guys are slinging around terms trying to prove your respective points. I don't have an opinion either way with what you are debating about. But some of what I'm reading up there is touching a nerve.
Semi off-topic.... but if you look up "Unit 731" among the many more topics such as the Bataan Death March which covered several of the many many atrocities committed by the Japanese towards Americans, Filipinos, Chinese, Koreans, etc. during WWII, I'm sure you will realize that the Japanese were not "oppressed".
They were the oppressors. They treated anyone who was not Japanese as worse than human. As objects. Often inflicting brutal pain, humiliation, and torture.
I have zero doubt in my mind that, had the Japanese won the war or any significant part of the Pacific, this treatment would still be going on to this day. Even now there has been plenty of denial of WWII atrocities in high level politics. Many Japanese learn of what happened through their own research and not from schools... in Germany it is the exact opposite. Just my 0.02
