Unreal. I don't know anyone who has any issues with Japanese, and I was born and raised in Hawaii with a huge Japanese population.
The internment of Japanese (at the hands of a Democrat President) was unnecessary (though understandeable given the war hysteria following 12/7/1941) and later judged to be unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.
Apologies, reparations, etc have long been issued. Hardly anyone (except for those who were small children) who lived through it is still around.
So ... this is nothing but gratuitous ‘virtue signalling’ by the same people who would GLADLY apply the same method to those they disagree with politically .... you can’t make this stuff up ...
When you’re the Democrat Party, you divide people.
It’s what you do.
When will they apologize to the Nazis?
2025= Somber Day of Remembrance in SF to remember Illegal Aliens
This is the same old, same old politico-ideological pap thats been served to Californians for decades. When I first came to CA 36 years ago, I was shocked to find that it was a big deal. That the teaching of WWII in the schools consisted of the Japanese internment and the Atomic bombs.
It was obviously an engineered guilt trip to make Americans depressed about their role in WWII and to question their role in the world. I would not be surprised that the whole thing, the emphasis on this, was some Soviet effort run through agents of influence.
Propaganda is very often a matter of emphasising fact x, which is made out to be supremely important, and ignoring fact y, which doesn’t matter.
Being a descendant of survivors of the Manila massacre, in which 100,000 people were murdered with incredible viciousness, the fact of the Japanese internment seems to rate not even a footnote in the tale of WWII.
Weren’t they the ones that put them in internment camps?
Rounded up by order of a DhimmicRATic president.
Not much of an apology since they’re not giving back what was stolen from them with the aid of the good democrat Truman. More than a few West Coast fortunes were built on what was originally Japanese-American property.
Yea, it’s going to be a somber day in America for Americans who have to put up with this hyphenated-American bullshit. If u use the hyphenated-America terminology to describe yourself, leave off the term “American” so as not to insult us Americans.
“Rampage”, James M. Scott, 2018
About the battle and massacres in Manila, of which it is the 75th anniversary today. The ONLY semi-comprehensive treatment of that incident, in a book dedicated to it, published in the US. Its worth getting, as it is very well done indeed, in a style very similar to Cornelius Ryan (”The Longest Day”), but you may need a strong mind and a strong stomach.
There were also about 1000 dead Americans btw.
There is also a military history by Connaughton, and a couple of works published in the Philippines, the best one is by Aluit, though its been out of print for 20 years.
Compare to the ... hundreds? of volumes on the Japanese internment. And films, television, curricula, etc.
To hell with the nipons. They were the WW2 ISIS types that needed to be watched. They practiced lying just like the mooslims.
Japanese military kept my dad, my uncle and my grandparents prisoner in their concentration camp for three brutal hungry years. I don’t forgive.
