I watched a documentary a while ago about Japanese history, where the issue of the takeover of the northern island of Hokkaido and the forced assimilation of its aboriginal population, the Aino, was discussed. From a historical perspective, racism, imperialism as well as political and cultural hegemony are hardly restricted to European (i.e. "white" or "Western") powers. And unlike most Western countries, Japan remains steadfastly averse to immigration. Go figure.
