I never really disagreed with interring the japs during WWII. I think its too bad that they had to lose so much but that wasn't our fault it was the fault of the japanese who bombed pearl harbor.

I assume you're referring to the internment of Americans of Japanese descent.

I would like to know how, if the attack on Pearl Harbor "wasn't our fault" and "was the fault of the japanese", why don't you disagree with interring tens of thousands of us who weren't at fault?

For my part, I agree with internment camps in WWII because they were necessary for the security of both the nation at war and the people being interred. At the time, it was the sensible thing to do.

During World War II, the religion of Japan was Japanese Shintoism. This belief system particular to the Japanese, was the irrefutable divinity of the Japanese Emperor. He was a living God, their living god.
And if you knew about Japanese culture, you would know that LOYALTY is a value very much present in their society.
Remember, we made the emperor renounce his position?

Now, What do you think the religion of pre World War II Japanese immigrants living in America was? And if their religion was Japanese Shintoism, then who do you think their loyalty was to? This new foreign country, or the Emperor of Japan.



I agree with annelizly.
