@Moon @rin @thendrix rather scared of people who wouldn't do so for some crash-landed kid

@Moon @rin Including major leaders of industry. huh... ????

@thendrix @rin Part of the issue with the Japanese may have been because in the attack on Pearl Harbor, a Zero pilot crashed on an island and a group of Japanese-Hawaiians rescued and hid him. Obviously Not All Japanese, but if you needed a media story to round them all up, you couldn't do better.

@thendrix @rin Also interesting that German-Americans were not interned, despite many of them being open Hitler supporters before the war.

@Moon @rin Especially if it promotes control via fear, and maybe you can get some free stuff at the same time. Hhhmm... sounds familiar.

@Moon @rin I lived in areas that used to be Japanese owned before they were put in camps. They put up some plaques saying how bad it was, but some of those might have been pulled down during 2020... wonder how much history is going to survive this century.
-
@thendrix @rin the internment was immoral and unjustified but the supreme court basically said executive power should be unrestricted in a war for survival.
-
@rin Supreme Court found it constitutional, too.

> In the United States during World War II, about 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of whom lived on the Pacific Coast, were forcibly relocated and incarcerated in concentration camps in the western interior of the country. Approximately two-thirds of the internees were United States citizens.bruh
