Thank you very much. I've saved it out and will read it again myself later.

The injustices done to "some" Japanese Americans was unjust and needed reparations. Oddly enough, few people know that internment only occurred in select areas of the country, whereas Japanese Americans in other parts were not interned.

Many of those Americans went into the camps with successful farms and business, and came out and were paid a pittance for their property that had been sold.

In many cases they didn't own the land because of the prevalence of racial CC&Rs. Opportunists found it easy to take over businesses based on leases when the owners were locked up. Those victims didn't even recieve a pittance.
