Looking over this thread again, and not with any efforts to single anyone out here, at all, I have noticed a bend from the general parameters of the OP.
I think that's often the way with internet forums in general, and similarly with threads (of course). And, intrinsically there's nothing whatsoever wrong with that - an OP will often have an idea of how to provoke constructive argument at a later date already in mind; only holding it back initially so as to not, so to speak, 'lay all his or her cards on the table'.
IMVHO, the question here is whether or not the OP had an axe to grind - a premeditated, negative line of though, against Koreans in this case. Both the thread title and the pushing of the argument in certain directions seem to suggest that, but I make no assumption - it's just my feeling.
That's it. What else can be said?
Not much!! Imo, this thread could have been opened by a post saying 'some Korean girls/ladies come to japan to work in the sex industries' and then closed immediately (not that I'm at all in favour of closing threads - but just that that's all that needs to be said on the topic, really!!)
Any intention to relate the present state with that of other events in history--to whatever degree is known of them--is very likely 'strawman' of an argument.
Then shouldn't the thread be retitled entirely, as 'unproven' or 'not even very well argued for or defended'? (It's quite possibly offensive or misleading in my book as well, but that may be just me, and I look forward to the OP coming back to me on that.)
