Speak softly, but carry a big stick.

You people will always find someone to hate . It 's in your d.n.a . The way you treated those people was , to say the least ,disgusting and shameful . But , what the heck , German p.o.w s were accorded more respect than African Americans who fought for the USA .

It still exists today. Look at what people say about Muslims after 911 they get mistreated just for looking like the enemy

@@zainulzainul1880 And what do you mean by "You people"? Are you not human?

There is no reason to cry and have pity for the Japanese Americans. After the war the Japanese Americans got on with their lives and virtually all of them ended up a lot better off than they were before the war. After the war all of the barriers which prevented Japanese Americans from being more than gardeners and farmers came down. I know countless Nisei who ended up working in the Aerospace and Aircraft industry after the war--they were everything from engineers and scientists to clerks. Today Japanese American engineers at companies like Northrop-Grumman are a common sight and Asian Americans at these companies dominate the field. Japanese American Issei and Nisei were a tough and hardworking lot. They didn't spend any time after the war feeling sorry for themselves. This film is not fair or objective in how they portray America after the war.

@@lonebeagle it is not pity but empathy. How were all of them better off, when so many lost their land and home? After relocation they had rebuild their lives again. It took years for them to bounce back. I don't feel sorry for them; I feel proud and admire their courage to move forward. Having empathy and understanding others and the world around us is a path to understanding ourselves.

@@chuongha9530 If you want to feel empathy for someone, why not start with the families and friends of the 400,000 Americans who died fighting the Nazis and Japanese in World War II. What happened to Japanese Americans in WW II is just a trivial footnote when put into context of the War's effect on all Americans and the World. If you want to empathize with someone, what about having empathy for the millions of Americans who came home from the war permanently disabled or who were psychologically scarred for life. These combat veterans never got their normal lives back after the war--they were far more adversely affected than the Japanese American community was. My father was one of those disabled veterans. He came home 40% permanently disabled and with PTSD--PTSD had not even been discovered yet but it affected his life until he died. After the war he and his family returned to their farm in Los Angeles to find it in weeds. But after a short period, they were back in business farming again like they were before the war. But my dad's life never did recover from the war. Many Japanese Americans did NOT lose their homes and farms when they evacuated. My mother's family's property was managed by the Superior Court of Los Angeles County--a management firm took care of their rental property. It was rented out during the war, taxes were paid and the building was maintained. When my mom's family returned after the war, everything was as it was when they left. Many farmers rented out their land to neighbors who farmed and maintained their fields. While many Japanese Americans lost their small businesses, it is not as if ALL Japanese Americans suffered this fate. And because of the GI Bill, thousands of Nisei went to college and became engineers and professionals and in the 1950s got jobs in the aircraft and aerospace industry, jobs that were denied to them before the war. Without the GI Bill, most of those Nisei probably would not have gone to college at all--they would have been gardeners or worked in agriculture. People like you look at the experience of Japanese Americans with severe blinders. You completely ignore even more significant suffering endured by millions of Americans because of the War. And then there's the horrendous pain and suffering that occurred elsewhere in the world because of the War. Upwards of 50 to 60 MILLION people died in World War II, most of them civilians. And hundreds of millions of people were casualties and literally lost everything. Entire cities were destroyed and the effects of the War on the rest of the world makes what happens in America look like a Spring picnic. Save your tears for those who really deserve them. As a Sansei people like you annoy me since you really don't understand what happened to the JA community during and after the war.

@@lonebeagle Of course I have empathy for veterans and others that suffered from WW2. Did my response imply otherwise? Sorry to offend you.

it's the capital of a white supremacy religious organization

Agreed

Edyson T Maldonado Baten actually the Japanese said that people of Japanese ancestry that identified as Americans would be labeled traitors to Japan and they would have been brutally killed for it. The Japanese empire even threatened to use them for bayonet practice
