Burns will probably have several episodes on the Japanese round-up and several more on blacks dealing with racism in the military.

How can you not discuss racism in a World War Two documentary. The military was segregated, even blood products for soldiers. It is a major fact of history. Sometimes I'm amazed at how some of you freepers think.

No question he will AVOID mentioning who came up with the order to put Japanese (as well as other ethnicities when they could weed them out) in concentration camps.

We've always been made to think it was just nebulous big ol'bad America, and ipso facto conservatives that put them in. NEVER was I ever told who was actually responsible in regular public ed.
