Although George was born in Boyle Heights, California, he was reared in San Francisco.

Thank God for the atom bomb, or all of Japan would have committed suicide fighting for their God the Emperor...

IMO, Hirohito got over when he should've been held to account.

According to Wikipedia George Takei was a natural born American citizen (April 20, 1937).

If I remember gender clues embedded in Japanese names correctly his mother was born in Sacramento CA. His father was born in Japan.

Born in 1937 of working class Americans is very unlikely that Takei visited Japan before age 4. The same would be the same for his Japanese family visiting America. Visiting Japan as American citizens, and visa-versa, would have been risky to impossible by 1941 based on rising tensions between the two nations.

According to Wikipedia “George Takei had several relatives living in Japan during World War II. Among them, he had an aunt and infant cousin who lived in Hiroshima who were both killed during the atomic bombing that destroyed the city. In Takei’s own words, “my aunt and baby cousin [were] found burnt in a ditch in Hiroshima”. The quote from Wikipedia is based on an article published in the Huffington Post after Trump had called for an increased nuclear capability.

Possible - very much so. But, apparently, it was never a serious position on George Takei’s life until Trump made his twitter posting earlier this year.

Sorry Mr Sulu but that’s what the historical records show.

Iris Chang was unavailable to comment on the rape of Nanking, in which no doubt members of Mr. Takei's family participted, directly or indirectly.

If I had a twitter account I would respond to Takei with that photo alone, no text, just the photo.

Maybe some FReeper with a twitter account could do that....James Wood would applaud.

My dad taught my brother and me, as his father had taught him (and so on), “Never start a fight, but always finish it.”

Nuclear weapons are no game, that’s right, George. And how many times has Japan attacked US soil since getting its saki toasted? Nuclear weapons are serious, and those on the potential receiving end from nations willing to use those weapons soon learn such nations, particularly America, should be taken seriously.
