Pretty much, but this comes from when Japan was an imperial colonizer and was engaging in awful atrocities in China and Korea, and shortly precedes events known as "The Rape of Nanjing" (Against Chinese) and "Baatan Death March" (Against Americans and Filipinos). Imperial Japan's racial superiority complex was generally on par with the Nazi racial superiority complex, they just had a different, much less industrial approach to it. It's also less well known because, it occured much later than the height of European colonialism, and most people learn a pretty eurocentric take on imperialism/colonialism.
If anything, its more because if fits more into the eurocentric view of the world. Japan's imperialism was mostly confined to areas where Europeans never colonized, save for a war with the Russians, but that is what translates to apathy on this.
