That's what blind racism sometimes brings you.

I can understand interning and deporting Foriegn Nationals but most were American Citizens and didn't deserve the treatment they received.

Like you,I understand and agree with keeping the Japanese Americans in Hawaii under close watch during WW-2,and I can even agree with rounding up Japanese immigrants and moving them into remote areas like they did. What I will NEVER approve of is using this as a excuse for people to steal their homes and their businesses.

BTW,there were also Germans and Italians who were American citizens interned during WW-2 also. This had NOTHING to do with racism. It was about nationality and loyalty,period. My example WAS racism,since strangers on the street attacked this man purely because he was Asian.
