You know much about our social probrem, but you are talking about domestic distinction, not racism. Especially Buraku (distinguished group due to lineage) is domestic hierarchie which many culture had. You are right about Japan had Eugenics Protection Law until 1996 which contains idea that normal is greater than imbecile, but the law was enacted under GHQ inspection and direction. There is opposition with the law in GHQ, so GHQ declared they do not touch with Japanese population policy in that time, but the sterilization was not considerd as unconditional evil.

We Japanese, and American may, associate Eugenics with Nazi. Certanly the predecessor of The Japan's Eugenics Protection Law, "The Nation Eugenics Law" is consluted the law in Nazi, but the law in Nazi consluted the law in California.

Ainu (indigenous people at north island, Hokkaido) and Zainichi (在日;litarally staying japan;normaly means korean living in Japan) may be race, but nowday Japanese consider there is no probrem with racism for Ainu people. Zainichi is troublesome, I want to write much about them, but it is hard to express.

Zainichi hide their nationality, give themself a name like Japanese, speak Japanese, select not to take the right of permanent residence. Please notice that there are differences between Zainichi korean and legaly enterd korean. They are considered like illegal residence not help our economy.

anyway we didn't kill or rob other race massively in any case like american did on Indian, so I thought Japan is better than America at racism. Am I wrong?

You may talking about Beate Shirota Gordon? In Japan she is very popular to feminist and socialist. We admire her in describing sexual equality in our Constitution.
