Fair enough. Maybe I'm mostly thinking of how they compare with the US and its poor record in this area. Seems like a lot of this comes from ultra-nationalists of some stripe, no?

While nationalistic ideologues seem to dominate the political violence in Japan and the US, it's a bit disingenuous to assign blanket statements to these things.
