During a war the internment of the enemies people in our country does not qualify for apologies. The political conservatives are the low lifes who should leave the nation.
They were American citizens.
Not all of them.....in fact 40 thousand of them were not. Also as mentioned....German American citizens and Italian American citizens deemed to be a threat to our National Security were also detained.
Anyhow....the whole story of the Japanese west coast japanese has been verboten...as in the real story has been kept from most Americans....as in you really have to dig to get the truth.
A conviction that we should be ashamed about the treatment of Japanese-Americans during World War II is part of the conventional wisdom of our time. Columnist Myriam Marquez wrote recently in an entirely typical op-ed piece of the “injustices” and the “abominations” of the “internment camps for Americans of Japanese descent during World War II.”Americans have been coerced to believe with an almost religious conviction that their country committed a heinous act, and many take pride in denouncing the actions of their fathers and grandfathers. What actually happened, and why?

The difference between Japanese internment and the Germans and Italians was that race alone was reason enough for the Japanese to be interned and have their property confiscated. Such was not the case with the Germans or the Italians as they had to have good and sufficient reasons to be deemed a threat or dangerous.
Hell, during the war German POWs had more freedom of movement in America than Japanese internees many of whom were natural born American citizens.
No one can do racism like a democrat.
