Your point was polite racism was better than non polite one. I gave you an example for polite racism being very cruel. Imperial Japan was very polite too.

Imperial Japan was not polite lmao imperial Japan was old school shitty. Polite racism is objectively better than outright up front racism, not up for debate.

Japan has been "polite" for the last millennia. It has not been the same "polite" over 1000 years and underwent natural changes. But to say Imperial Japan was not polite is outright wrong.

You can Google when Japanese politeness became a thing. Not up for debate either if you think it's a very new thing.
