Of course Takei used his WW2 internment in his sorry apology.
My mother was in the same camp as him. She never used WW2 internment as an excuse for bad behavior.
20 years ago I saw him at a personal appearance at a film festival and he said that he didn’t have bad experiences (apart from relocation) with the internment. He’s been trotting it out lately.
He “survived” the camps. How many Japanese didn’t survive them?
France locked up German veterans as war raged in Europe.
Sometimes it isn’t about race.
