| 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. |
