So what if the Japanese state committed war crimes between 1931 and 1945? How many people who are responsible for that are even alive? The people who say that generally live in countries that are committing the greatest number of war crimes at the very moment.
Raw numbers like that scale with time. Something like 300,000 slaves were brought into the US, total. Somewhere on the order of 50 million black people live in the country, most of them descended of slaves.
And the US isn't close to the biggest country. If 0.1% of China and India are slaves, that's still 2 million-ish slaves.
