If I recall correctly, back in the 80s, the Black Sambo Dolls and stories were popular in Japan. I guess you could say that the Japanese had no knowledge that it was supposed to be offensive, then again, in this regard, I don't fault them. If that's all they had exposure to (media wise) then it's better to just educate and give them the benefit of the doubt.
