With all due respect, this is right up there with one of the most ignorant statements I have ever heard.
these people may have been Japanese but they were Japanese-Americans!. Apparently your not aware that the Japanese-AMERICAN regiment that fought in the European theater (given the title, butter heads) during warII were the most highly declarated group of soldiers during the War in Europe and what did they come home to? Nothing! The US government had seized everything from them....
Read up on the Niihau affair then come back and comment.
