You could say the same about the jews in Germany, its a legitimate slippery slope. You should have seen the way I was treated after 9/11 aka Inside Job. I was an outcast because my skin was brown.
Well of course I am sorry that people blamed you for 9/11 just because of your skin first of all. I don't think we should have interned Americans of Japanese heritage, I just like giving the people on the more unpopular side of history's side of the story. Still disagree with them, but they did have valid reasons to be concerned about Japanese Americans. I just don't like writing them off as racists. Again though I would like to reiterate that does not make it okay to intern people without probable cause.
everyone is racist, thats the sad truth. Some more than others but once war begins, all bets are off, everyone of the ethnicity from the region is targeted. History makes that pretty clear.
shhhh, thats different because they deserved it
I can actually understand why FDR put Japanese Americans in camps. Lots of people don't know this but 3 Japanese Americans tried to help a Japanese pilot escape after he crash landed his plane after the attack on Pearl Harbor. I still think it was wrong but lots of people were paranoid that Japanese Americans were 5th columnists and they had actual examples of it.
It turns out that white liberals are the true fifth column. Too fucking ironic.
