So are Syrians today’s Japs?
My take on this may be a bit different. Withut the benefit of looking back, my guess is that the Roosevelt administration made the correct decision. The camps may not have been the right apaprach but certainly a strenuous effort at security was wide.
HOWEVER, the major issue about 42 is not the internment but the obvious racism. I eas in my forst year os life and growing up in a pro Nazi neighborhood of Boston. My next door neighbor was a leader in the Anerican Bund. He was Irish, not Japanese.
Bigotry is American.
