I know a family who owned a swath of land extending to the Pacific, roughly 10 miles deep along Wilshire on East past Little Tokyo.
Today this land is worth several billion dollars.
While they were held captive in a variety of camps, 100% of it ended up in the hands of wealthy white Californians, there being no wealthy black Californians at the time.
They recovered 5 cents on the dollar of loss and purchased a very large chunk of Anaheim. Part of that farm is now the Disneyland parking lot.
Disney is the only white man who ever paid them a penny for any property.

Now, notwithstanding that you seem to have projected an element of bigotry and racism into the thread, you're talking.
See the last couple of paragraphs of my post #49.
There is not the slightest doubt that the "DemocRATS" who rounded up the World War Two Japanese stole their money and their property -- and may have been in part motivated to round them up by that intention!
[As there is also not the slightest doubt that the Japanese who served in Europe in the United States Armed Forces served valiantly and were a great credit to themselves, their families and Our Nation! -- But that was not this thread's topic]
I would not dispute this point at all. See my post #87. I have heard from some old timers who felt that their safety was in dispute.
