The media would have you believe that's true, but much like religious right in the US, the more racist Japanese aren't as all powerful and numerous as one might think. Sure, there's been a lot of bad stuff in the past (although look at China- they refuse to acknowledge some of the shit they do. and South Korea was a dictatorship into the 80s, and still has a few rather draconian policies. the fact that the Japanese came out on the losing end of World War II however gives them the advantage when they complain about the Japanese denial of war crimes. which most likely did happen (maybe there's a .0000001% chance it didn't. pretty unlikely) though, and the Japanese DO need to address it head on at some point) It actually seems more like each East-Asian group considers itself superior to all other East-Asians sometimes. Not just a Japanese thing

And Japanese-Americans tend to be rather anti-racist as a whole, although I myself, a 4th generation one (and thus no longer an example of a "true" Asian-American from what the media would also tell you), tend to dislike Korea for its turn to Christianity (which is in itself abandoning most of the principles of being east asian), and hating the Japanese even more than the Chinese. And I'm kind of irked by a number of southeast asians (mostly Vietnamese from my observations. haven't run into too many Hmong, but from studying them, it's pretty obvious they're one of the most overlooked and forgotten about Asian groups. not sure why that is) who run around acting like gangsters, speaking in ebonics, pimping/ricing their cars, wearing those doo-rag things, etc.
