All of a sudden in schools here in the west coast in 7th grade all the kids have to do a project or whatever on 'Japanese internment camps' during WWII.
Fine, learn about WWll, and that is definitely a part of it.
..but focus just on Jap camps?
They are seriously taught that they were "so horrible" and like "concentration camps"
I personally believe the information is being presented in a twisted form.
She told me how she thought Roosevelt was so horrible for what he did, and that he caused so many Japanese to die in disease, overcrowding, etc.
Once she said they watched a video of a guy saying that the camps were "concentration camps"
I was like "Once that guy said that he lost all credibility,"
Anyway, I know my facts about the camps.
-120,000 at the most relocated
-about 1/3 or so not American citizens,
-very real threat after Pearl Harbor, with spies, etc.
-None died
-Over in 3 years
-got to stay with their families
-all the food needed,
-safety, shelter
-no forced labor
-REPARATIONS later
They were RELOCATION camps.
Also, the reasons behind it, I believe made the relocation justifiable. I mean, much anti-American sentiment among Japanese after a-bombs (understandably), and potential for spying, etc.
I believe you can make the case they weren't justifiable.
But, why the heck, is my sister getting such a DISTORTED viewpoint of the camps?????????????
They gave NO reasoning behind the implementation of the camps!!!!
Seriously it was just "Americans were evil and racist so decided to put them in DEATH CAMPS!!"
WTF.
*****NATIVE AMERICANS >>> why wouldn't you teach that? HELLO! THEY ARE THE NATIVE AMERICANS!!!!
And I'm asking why is this being taught in a DISTORTED way? It IS rubbish comparing an internment camp to a CONCENTRATION camp.
********Ehh I agree more they weren't completely justifiable. But I still think they are, I mean, it's not like anyone died.
***ALL GERMANS DESERVE EVERYTHING THEY GET***
Yes. Every German deserves everything that they get.
lol I made a NAZI feel sick. I'm good, I guess...well, in NAZI terms.
Nope, I haven't called *anyone* here I disagree with a NAZI, except you, 'cause you like to tone-down the evilness of Hitler and the Holocaust during WWll and you like to try to make Germans look like victims during WWll. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. Saw you were a NAZI defender the moment I read your post, but I refrained from saying anything at first. As you can see, others below you are concerned too.
