No I haven't lived in japan, but I have experienced what you are talking
about here in America. I have a japanese friend who has a grandfather
who is a surviving kamikaze pilot from WWII - a total hate monger who is
still pro-emperor. She is actually studying Korean language and culture
and totally understands how her Korean firends have a deep resentment
towards japanese.
People become bigots (not racists in this case, since japanese are not a
"race") because they experienced something negative from the group that
they are discriminating against. I agree that all bigotry is bad - but
look how this came to be. If someone did something truly wrong to your
family and never apologized for it and in fact just plainly denied doing
it, wouldn't you be resentful?
