Now, if that is not an imperialistic/colonialistic 
statement, I don't know what is.

Let me parphrase you, yes, again.  You are essentially saying
that because other nation might have taken over Korea,
Japan was justified for doing so?  Not only that, Japan
did a favor to Korea that way so that Russia, France,
Germany, or the US would not?  Is that what you are
saying?  I will wait for your response with a truck
load of profanity, spinning your own statement that
I misinterpreted your holy statement.
 
And you are bitching about why Koreans, sans Daniel,
think you are a racist?

Get a grip, child.

OK, "knowledgeable" buffoon, Japan cannot be blamed alone.
There were China, Russia, France, Germany, and the US.
They are all to be blamed.  Korea herself was also to 
be blamed for being such a weak nation.

My college roommate (a Japanese) used to say

What? The US living up to treaties?
