[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 1857328, member: 18225"] Guy, read a history book - I suggest Howard Zinn. We interned the Japanese, selectively, due to pure [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenophobia']Xenophobia[/URL]. The Germans and Italians looked just like us (whitish, I guess?), and since, at that time, the good old 'white' US of A was comprised of immigrants, mostly Irish, German, Italian, Eastern-European, etc., we just picked on the non-white looking newbies. Most, if not all, of the Japanese 'internees' were hard working immigrants trying to make their way in the country they called home. Comparing the Japanese internment camps to anything about the situation we deal with today is {apples to dump-trucks}. [/QUOTE]
