which is what is so infuriating about Japan in this regard. They behave like Communist China or Russia in regards to their past. They pretend it didn't happen. What other "Western" nation does this?

@TheMan21892 did you honestly expect to teach those topics to you in elementary school? Really? You were taught those issues the same time as everyone else. Stop acting like it's a bad thing, or some conspiratorial attempt to hide the past. Stop being whiny and pathtic.

@TheMan21892 America never hid its past. it has always been known and taught. You learn Tipis as part of learning about their culture. You learn the cotton gin to learn of the way economics impacted slavery. You don't simply focus on only the bad of history, that is as negligent as avoiding the bad of history. the fact you don't know the difference between learning about cultures and how the world changed in response to technology, from issues of racism, massacre, etc. tells me you didn't pay attention in class. I have taken many history classes in my life, and study history like crazy. And the textbooks have all of it. it comes down to the political agenda of the teachers these days. Historically they taught everything, with context and nuance.

From another commenter: "There isn’t a single country in this world without a bloody past, some simply more than others. It is what it is, but there is no excuse for deliberately ignoring or obfuscating history." This is what is so infuriating about Japan in this regard. They behave like Communist China or Russia in regards to their past. They pretend it didn't happen. What other "Western" nation does this? You don't need to apologize for something you didn't do. just need to be aware and acknowledge what happened. Failure to learn history results in it happening again.
