Are people actually aware of the history of Japan? Like Seriously
Sometimes when I read the notebook entries on this website it makes me think that people think Japan is the magical land of unicorns and ponies and rainbows. When people say they love Japan and Japanese culture, I have to ask have they actually studied Japanese history? Some of you seem completely ignorant or at least way to idealistic about Japan. Every country has flaws and dark periods in their histories. Every country suffers from racism/colorism/xenophobia etc. Japan is no different. Don't get me wrong I have an appreciation and love for Japan and Japanese culture, but I'm also very knowledgeable about Japanese history. People need to take the good with the bad. If someone asked me about the United States I would be honest about the good and the bad. People need to acknowledge these things. Sorry for the rant. I welcome any comments of agreement or disagreement.
