There might be some aspects of your personality and outlook on life that are shaped by your nationality, which would in this case explain why so many Japanese soldiers committed acts of cruelty in WWII, but that doesn't mean all Japanese people are uninitiated psychopaths just waiting for an unfortunate Westerner to turn their back so they can torture them... And especially to judge a country based on something that happened 70+ years ago is a bit ridiculous; are all Germans Nazis right now in 2014? No. The world has moved on, it's a very different country now. Were all Germans ever Nazis? No, the Nazis were a political party, they had supporters and they had people who disagreed with them.

Who said Japanese people were evil? Say their name, because it would be racist to say that and you should report anyone who said that. No one said that. There's a difference between saying Japan's actions in ww2 were evil vs. Japanese people are evil.
You(not only you) are the one manipulating everything said about Japan's actions and behaviors as a nation, into personalized attacks on Japanese people, and it's obnoxious.
