    Yes, but I wouldn’t call it genocide. I don’t know, I’m not defending them for their crimes in the past century, but the original comment is a little hyperbolic.

      The modern (yamato) Japanese people replaced the previous inhabitants of Japan. I don’t think it was a deliberate genocide, but at the end of the day the Emishi / Jomon cultures were wiped out.

      Edit: Also, I was talking about violence in general, not genocide.
