They were violently racist towards Okinawan Japanese at one point, and part of the reason Japan is largely a monoculture now it's that a lot of the native people on the smaller islands got completely wiped out

    Are black people unverally at the bottom of every racist hierarchy? I imagine some countries distribute their antipathy differently. "I wouldn't live in country X as a black person because they are obviously racist because of how they treat this non-black population, Y," doesn't necessarily follow. Like just because a country treats it's native population badly, doesn't necessarily mean they would treat black badly (though it certainly isn't a good sign).

    Not explicitly, but it sounds like it's a possible background assumption, maybe more to gurty's comment. Anyway, not accusing anyone of anÿthing. The fear of being called racist stops a lot of people in their tracks, including the track of investigating their underlying assumptions.
