So, the mental midget Takei is lumping together: his “victimhood” in being interned as a child in WWII for the security on the west coast of the US vs. a potential 5th column (like it or not—one existed) AND his being a queer. He berates another “victim” class member who is a Supreme Court justice, because he does NOT participate in the victimhood whiner’s brigade.
The property crimes against Nisei are documented, and— have been compensated demonstrably to those who were injured. This is providing fodder to the “reparations” crowd who are still trying to get a pay off for being black— unprovably descended from slaves (hint: not all blacks in the US are of slave descent and somehow due money from ALL Americans because of slavery).
What has Takei’s life been like SINCE the internment? 2 post grad degrees, a cushy pretend life as an actor, unlimited prosperity in America the Beautiful, and he’s still nursing a case of Red Butt nearly 70 years later? To quote the sailors singing about Bloody Mary in South Pacific, “Now ain’t that too damn bad?!”
The Internment of the Japanese was an over re-action at the time. If it wasn’t then why was not the same done to German-Americans, especially those involved in the American Bund Movement??
