The rabbit hole just gets deeper...
I don't think we can excuse racism as a "cultural issue" in any culture unless we excuse it all cultures.
We may be able to understand the roots of racist mindsets, but regardless of the roots, making negative judgments of individuals based solely on their country of birth is racism.
I think Japanese disliking Koreans for being Koreans is just as deplorable as Whites disliking Blacks for being Blacks.
