Why we never see people talk about American mistreatment of Japanese looking people during WW II ?

because agressors doesn't deserve to be treated equally

Japan made deal with Hitler

also they even earlier occupied Korean peninsula (from 1910-1945)

at that time the only thing they've deserved is shit or well death...

Quote from Pikachu-Senpai

But they did these to all Japanese-Americans even those who renounced their Japanese citizenships to become American Citizens not to mention all those who were born in America and never had any allegiance to Japan. It wasn't like it was Japanese soldiers they were doing this to. It was to normal every day innocent American Citizens who happened to be Japanese in heritage.

I don't think they deserve death.....they were literally prosecuted for something they couldn't help or change about themselves.

ah that I didn't know,

you mean situation when they were kids of immigrants were born in US, and then treated badly because of whole situation which happened during WWII?

then that's messed up,

I thought it was about Japanese people who for example came to US for work a bit before bad things started

Quote from SooYoung

i'm sorry, but WTF

yes Japanese militaries deserve to be treated like this because they are the one who did the attack

but Japanese americans, who lived in America and became American, or even japanese kids who were born in US and never put a foot in Japan didn't deserve to be put in a concentration camps for the only reason that their ancestor are japanese

they were civilian who were living their life in America without annoying anybody and most likely were even against this war

that's just weird that you're trying to justify the injustice they face, especially the conséquences that he had on these people, japanese man were forced to join the US military and participate in the war just to go out of these concentration camps, and were so break from the inside after war that they most of them start to drunk, and because of what the US governement qualify as a "mistake" domestical violence and suicide rate increase

without talking about the PTSD kids faced after living for months or even year in these concentration camps

yeah ok I get it

sorry

didn't get point because you wrote 'civilian living in America'

still I understand point of view if someone Japanese was just few months or even 2-3 years in US and that gov wanted to kick those people out

also remember that was more than 75 years ago?

and Japanese overall at that times in the past had this thing that they thought they are "superior" nation

you know how they treated Koreans, maybe overall US gov had intel about everything, what was happening there, and someone made decision to kick JPNese out of US soil for good

Quote from SooYoung

i disagree

being 1 months or living in a country forever doesn't mean you support what's the country your native is doing

it have nothing to do with how long you stay in a country, it's just based on your own beliefs

and i don't think that trying to justify sending people to concentration camps with argument like " yeah but they came to america recently " is a good thing, especially if they came to america because they didn't share the same beliefs than japan

look nowadays, in 2022 your belief is accurate, maybe even 70-80% people would agree with it

but we need to remember it was in totally different age

you can see even now what Putin is doing, his mindset is stuck in Soviet era, so about 30 if not more years ago

so I'm sure that in 1945 or some time later there were also people who had similar way of thinking, now that would bring them back to what times? let's say around 1915... that's more than 100 year gap

sadly it's not that we can 'clear' everything in a way that people would understand

for example Ukrainians, even Zelensky himself said recently that they weren't killing Polish people in the past, well sad thing is that they did, I mean Bandera and his guys did it, they've killed more than 100 000 Polish people but Ukrainians were growing up and they've learned in school that Bandera was a hero.
