In the 1940's our government sent all the Japanese Americans to internment camps because they were Asian...
You mean that compassionate government??
That is not even why. It was to protect them from the Klu Klux Klan. It was to protect ourselves in war time, from internal unrest, and there was the spy question, and the irregular support risk in invasion. So, if Japan did not want that to happen, they had choices. But, after the ballon goes up, there are no longer social concerns for civilians.
It was compassion, you joke. There was an exclusion zone the width of CA, bisecting OR, WA, and AZ. Why you future handwavers don't understnd is that the Japanese had the entire coast under probing attack.
So, invasion seemed imminate after Pearl Harbor. Subs shelled our oil facilties in LA, and some firebombing was do on our Northern Forest.
So, wake up and read the history.
110,000 we protected from ourselves.
In 1988, President
Ronald Reagan signed into law legislation that apologized for the internment on behalf of the
U.S. government. The legislation said that government actions were based on "race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership".[SUP]

reparations to Japanese Americans who had been interned and their
heirs.[SUP]

So, the govt at the time reacted as best we could, and then as we matured, we acknowledged it was a heavy hand. But, there was no brutalization and starvation. No death marches to Butan.
So, I guess you don't understand compassion in War Time. We almost lost WW2 and we still are fighting the dregs to this day.
