“There were more than 140,000 white prisoners in Japanese POW camps. Of these, one in three died from starvation, work, punishments or from diseases for which there were no medicines to treat.” https://www.historyonthenet.com/world-war-two-japanese-pow-camps
The light fades fast at the end and then “boop”.
I forgot what the title was but thanks for the source.
This guy is an absolute degenerate. Who cares what that faggot thinks.

By AOC’s & George’s definition of a concentration camp would equally apply to a school, hospital, or hotel. People are being ‘concentrated’ either against their will or by their own volition. A movie theater would also apply as would most of our stores and shopping malls. Hell, cities would also fall under that definition.
Yes that was him.
Really? Logic? Knock it off. /s
What is the matter, George? Didn’t like the way you were reared?
You speak the truth. Such a good point.
Talk about a Z-lister ...
Not to mention the bio-chemical warfare experiments conducted on prisoners of the Japanese by Unit 731.
| Thanks, chrisinoc for your family's perspective. For any American, the loss of personal freedom is a grevious loss. But however despicable the internment of Japanese-Americans was, the decision was made taking into account the country's welfare -- and Japanese-American citizen's safety at a time of great hatred for anything Japanese. I have seen a major Japanese film of several hours long starring some of Japan's finest actors (honorable actors unlike Mr. Sulu) -- and they presented the true story of the American internment camp as harsh by today's standards, but quite humane and safe. Actually the most highly decorated U.S. military unit ever was the 442nd infantry who made a very costly rescue of Americans completely surrounded by Germans in World War II. Here's some perspective:
So Mr. Cuckcoo Sulu, it's kind of a strange situation to see men volunteering from these internment camps, and proving their loyalty to America by their great bravery. As a Japanese-American, you should bow your head in utter shame for insulting the honor of America's valiant men of courage and love of country. If you had the true bushido spirit of a samurai, you would be permitted to kill yourself honorably by hara-kiri. But since you have disgraced your heritage and people, you deserve to die someday as a man who should have never been born -- as the privileged and crazed vulture of civilized society you are. |

Well said, GreyFriar
But actor and activist George Takei, who was sent to a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II with his family, backed up the New York Democrat’s characterization.
We made the same demand to Japan............................
“These men made up the 100th Battalion and the 442nd Infantry Regimental Cobat Team consisted of some men from Hawaii but most of them were from the internment camps in the Continental USA.”
I think in October 1944 most of the 442nd came from Hawaii and not the mainland. After the rescue of the Lost Battalion probably more replacement soldiers came from the internment camps as conditions for Japanese Americans became more relaxed by 1944.
Happy to say my three uncles served in the 442nd.
Joe Biden recently said he “Reached across the aisle” to work with segregationists. Both of them were DEMOCRATS.
The difference is those at our
southern border being detained,
can leave and return to their
homes anytime they want to.
They’re not being forced to stay.
Dont like the conditions you
have placed yourself in?
Go Home. Vete a casa.
I found the movie I talked about here: 99 Nen-No-Ai Japanese American.
It is a drama with great actors (and realistic battle scenes) that pretty much tells the story of how Japanese settled in Seattle, the internment camps, and the heroism of the 442nd. Japanese with English subtitles.
It's a few hours long, but well-worth the time to watch.
