No, we did not. The USSR was bad, but even the worst of their gulags weren’t as bad as the Nazi death camps.

When it comes to America, yes, we do have big honking stinking feet of clay. I’m not afraid to point out what we’ve done wrong — I think this article and all my articles on racism prove that — but it is wildly inaccurate to claim we were anywhere near as bad as either the Nazis or the Japanese. And concerning the Japanese, look up what they did in Korea, China, and the Philippines.

Chris, concentrate not on what sounds good or on what you want to be true, but what is demonstrably factual. Let the facts determine your opinion, rather than the other way around.
