ALL Japanese Americans?

Or a tiny minority of nutroot liberal Japanese Americans?

Honda was a baby at the time. His sainted FDR signed EO 9066 and the evil Reagan signed for reparations.

Dems are simply morons.

For whatever reason, I think many (most?) Japanese hyphenated Americans support liberal Democrats. I look here in the Bay Area and you have leftists such as Honda, Matsui, and the former Congressman Minetta - these are all extreme leftists. The last one with decent ethics was the honorable SI Hayakawa -- but that was around 30 years ago. My close friend (College roommate) and his Mom are fairly conservative -- but I believe the interment experience has left some scars (albeit not enough to vote lefty)...
Crap happens. Sure, I wish we hadn't interned American citizens - but to be fair, I can understand it. We just had our Pacific fleet sunk; the Japanese had taken over the Philippines and imprisoned many American soldiers ... it really wasn't a time for rational, calm, thinking. The focus was to win the war. I wish we hadn't gone the interment route -- but its easy to play Monday morning quarterback some 70 years after Pearl Harbor and Corregidor. I don't condemn those who made the decision (although I'm no FDR fan) - they were living in tough times. And they won the war.

The latter.

A portion of the more LIBERAL DEMOCRAT, anti-conservative portion of the Japanese-American community back there in the USA. Not particularly representative of the whole. But very representative of such leftist places as Yale, Harvard, Chicago, Stanford, Berkeley, UCSD, UCLA and other Liberal Democrat ratholes. Many hailing from "chip-on-their-shoulders Asian American Student's Groups" and the likes. Che Guevara with Rice. I know these types. Some of them are outright COMMUNISTS, tracing back to the JCP (Japan Communist Party　日本共産党 ) Duhhh...like, gee, is it any wonder they are getting under the futon with the Islamists??! /sarc

I think that certain people ought to shut up.

What the Nipponese did to America was pretty freaking bad.

So we nuked em.

So now we’re supposed to be the bad guys?

They’re watching too much Network News and history rewrites.
