Malkin[edit]

Malkin: I hate to say anything remotely defending her, but Filipinos were not interned. She would not have been "close enough" by US standards; in fact, Filipinos were one of hte groups that we were defending from the Japanese. Researcher (talk) 22:54, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Farmers and competition[edit]

There is an interesting discussion about the fact that many of the targeted people were in rural areas and lost their farms to their competition. Is that woo, or worth looking into?--Pink mowse.pngGodotoi, putain, genial, merci 20:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't think it's woo...Wikipedia mentions it, and it looks like there were efforts (albeit not entirely successful) to redress the losses. -- Seth Peck (talk) 20:54, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
There was the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 to give some redress. As I recall, it was $20000 and a letter of apology from the US government.Wzrd1 (talk) 03:07, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
At least in British Columbia (Canada, if you don't know) there was ALOT of theft of Japanese property. Not so much farms, but ALOT of stuff in Vancouver and the such. --Revolverman (talk) 03:20, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
What's an ALOT? Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 03:25, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

What about Japanese people interning 130k+ American, British and Dutch civilians?[edit]

Why is there no article about that?

They were treated far more harshly than the Japanese as well. — Unsigned, by: 80.60.107.130 / talk

Racism =/= Fascism[edit]

I object to the use of fascism categories in this article. Because the U.S. government is wrong to send the Japanese to the camps, but that does not mean that it is on the same line as the Holocaust or Japanese war crimes. Above all, FDR is never a fascist. Umaru16 (talk) 01:37, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

This is a violation of human rights that forced the Japanese into custody because they could not trust Japanese Americans during the Pacific War. However, it is not intended to slaughter or sexual slavery the Japanese race. Umaru16 (talk) 01:41, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
