I don't understand why you think your father's arrest in 1940s 
is an explanation of "something which is not an isolated incident" that 
indicates "the fact" that "many Japanese" still "look upon Koreans as
something less than human."  BTW, your description of your
father is too sketchy to make a comment on.

Would you please quote my posts even remotely resembling
"Koreans are racists while Japanese are angels"?  If you cannot,
I demand you to retract your words.

Your "transident phenomenon" is something like this:
直江津駅リンチ殺人事件（１９４５年１２月２９日）

 Lynch muder at Naoetsu station. Dec 29 1945
 When three Korean underground rice brokers were trying to break
into a train by clashing glass windows, due to the resistance from
a Japanese passenger, they could not get in and they were hanging
at the connection area between the cars until they arrived at Naoetsu
station.  At Naoetsu station, the Koreans were blaming the Japanese
passenger, saying "We tried to clash the glass windows because
we could not get in through the door.  Why did you do that?"  to which
the Japanese replied "You are not supposed to get in from windows."
Infuriated by this, shouting "how dare you speak such a thing to Koreans!
Get off from the train!  We will kill you!!" the Koreans dragged the
passenger to the platform, beat him to death with pipes and shovels.

I think you know that your "totem pole" theory did not work in 
Korean Peninsula.  The Japanese residents in Korean Peninsula 
were stripped of their private properties, and sent back to Japan
using Japanese expenses.  Some of them were handed to Russians by
Koreans, and sent to Siberia.
