Well if you know about Okinawa, then you should know the Japanese were conscripting middle school Ryukyuans who are not ethnically Japanese (Yamato) , as well as using this ethnic group as human body bags and a buffer state to slow the invasion into the Japanese mainland. Most of those civilian casualties were not treated as Japanese (Yamato) by the Japanese government and people, and were second class citizens, maybe not even as the darling colony they treated Taiwan as. If anything, the victims of Okinawa is a testament to the evils of Japan imperialism / colonialism during WWII more so than it does America. The imperial Japanese government kidnap the leaders of Okinawa, and forced Okinawans into assimilation. In years prior, Okinawa had become a puppet state and used to proxy trade from Japan, as there were trade embargoes between Japan and China. The Japanese didn’t care about the ethnic majority of Okinawa then, and still don’t care now (Okinawa is the most impoverished of Japan’s prefectures), but when it comes to painting America as evil, then yes, Okinawa is conveniently Japanese
