These American and other foreign weebs who don't have any skin in the game or connection to either of these countries are so quick to put Japan on a pedestal and hop on the "Korea needs to get over it" train, "always putting the blame on others", "It was 400 years ago", "Korea copies everything from Japan", "only Korea is racist, not japan" bs. I'm really ashamed that 10 years ago I once thought Japan was like the best place over other countries due to my immaturity. Everyone talks about how Koreans are taught to hate Japan, but nobody wants to talk about how there are whole sections in Japanese bookstores dedicated to anti-Korean sentiment to this very day, and anti-Korean books are selling like hotcakes. Even non-Japanese foreigners have written these books. It's so fcking weird.
