For easy reading, under "Ethnic Groups", the "and" between reference notes 78 and 79 should be removed. Chantern15 ( talk) 18:57, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Chantern15
More than 80% of the "history" section here is devoted to United-States-military-related controversies and anti-American Okinawan movements, and the treatment is rather unbalanced. There is no mention at all of Japanese assimilationist and colonial policies, in fact the only discussion of any tensions with Japan is a single sentence that is mainly about... U.S. military bases. The Ryukyu independence movement is depicted as primarily anti-American. A U.S. activist's blog about his visit to a particularly affected village is cited to support a claim about what Okinawans in general believe - and the site doesn't even contain the claim.
The History of the Ryukyu Islands article has a far more reasonable treatment and the "history" section here ought to give weight to topics in about the same proportion as it does. 70.51.105.125 ( talk) 21:01, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
