It's interesting that you use this example.

Not too many years ago, the white citizens in this country rounded up
a large group of yellow citzens, grandmothers and all, and placed
them in internment camps because of what some other yellow people from
halfway around the world had done.

It had nothing to do with "White" people.


No one was really made safer, but it made all the white folks feel
better, and they had the power to do it, and so it was done.

Everyone in the US was safer, and many live today because of that action.


I have a feeling their rationale at the time was not all that far from
what yours is today, and just as meaningful

We should do the same today.

Just about everybody today ( with the possible exception of
conservative kook Michelle Malkin) believes that it was a shameful
episode of American history, and our government eventually apologized
to the victims and paid reparations.

And like the old saying goes, those who refuse to learn from history
are doomed to repeat it.

Your problem is you are unable to learn, leftist brainwashing.


The US broke the Japanese secret code very early in the war. Because of that
it was known that there were many Japanese spies were in the US.

It would have been impossible to round up just the spies, without giving up
the secret that we knew the code. Thus they were all interred. No other way
to do it.

The US won it's first comeback at Midway, early in the war (June 42')
largely because of the code breaking.

Anyone who questions my motives here should be aware that my family (US
citizens) was also rounded up and confined away from the Pacific coast.
