This is ridiculous.  I know many people age over 40, and none
of them are openly otherwise covertly hostile toward Japan and 
Japanese, much less younge ones.  Unless, some ignorant ones
who skid by with nonsensical claims about Japan's past.

Another indication is, at least in US, just pass by any reasonable
size gathering of Koreans.  And make a note of car brands in parking
lots.  Japanese cars win by wide margin.  Is this any indication of
hostility toward Japan and Japanese?
