Are Okinawan's Japanese?
They're just as Japanese as the Irish are English.
Your opinion on what to make of that statement
The percentage of Okinawan men who belong to haplogroup D is 55.6%, that's also almost the same percentage as for Tibetan men. Only 37.8% of Okinawan men belong to haplogroup O (i.e. the haplogroup of the Chinese).
Okinawa is Corea.

Prior the early 1600s they were basically very Chinesey Japanese people who for some reason did not wear armor and used a lot of wooden weapons.
Post 1600s they were basically a pet nation owned by the Shimazu family of Satsuma.
