Many Japanese people also started gardening businesses.The reason that there are so many Japanese landscapers and gardeners, is because after the second world war, the Japanese Americans could not get hired anywhere for a job, so they created their own gardening businesses. It's so ironic that a Japanese American troop, the 442nd, is the most decorated platoon in the U.S. ever and yet, the Japanese Americans were treated so badly after the war.
Donna So true. My neighbor in LA, a son of deceased soldier of the 442nd, showed me the footage of his father’s life as a Japanese-American living in the era. He luckily survived the war and returned to his home country. With GI Bill that he earned through the service, he went to UCLA and got a bachelor’s degree. However, nobody, not even a gas station, wanted to hire him because prejudice against Japanese still persisted. He decided to go back to school for graduate study but no professors wanted to take him in before all of the white candidates were accepted. That resulted him in studying and earning his PhD at a foreign university.
I have a better explanation why Japanese Americans moved into gardening after WWII. Before WWII only 30% of the farm land was owned by Japanese Americans, 70% of their farm land LEASED ! !! Unfortunately Colonel Bendetsen asked was it by choice or by coincidence that people of Japanese ancestry live and work next to military bases, defense plants, power lines, and other sites needed in the war effort. They controlled 90% of the strawberry and much of the asparagus crops in California. The leased farm land was taken over by other people. After WWII, the people of Japanese ancestry returned to the cities and farmed in them doing landscaping and gardening using their prior farming skills to make a living. Also they were not interned, enemy alien German, Japanese and Italians, mostly men were interned in Department of Justice camps under Presidential Proclamations 2525, 2526 and 2427, based upon the 1798 Alien and Sedition Act and were arrested starting December 7, 1941. Executive Order 9066 was used after February 19, 1942 to remove people of Japanese ancestry. They were excluded from 108 areas, evacuated into Assembly centers and relocated as they were built into ten War Relocation Authority Relocation Centers. James Tanaka, former evacuee of WRA Minidoka Relocation Center in south central Idaho to help with the important sugar beet industry.
jealousy and children of Cain will do that :( -- we all take after Cain or Abel. then there was Tubalcain who was an ironsmith, also descendent of Cain, i believe
I’m taking an Asian American class and watching all these videos gives light, real voices from real immigrants, and clear cut explanation. Thank you for making these videos accessible and organized. I hope to spread the knowledge!
Most people do not know that Southern Cali, Torrance Paramount Redondo Bch were full of farmland mostly Japanese. Down the street from my house in Torrance was a dairy in which to get fresh milk and ice cream, and further down the road was fields of strawberries. My Mothers parents lived in Paramount and across the street from their home ( no sidewalks) was a dairy farm with no fences where the cows just roamed the fields of grass....Sighs they've ruined it. I long since moved ..........Thats was in the 60's btw.............
Gee, I wonder why the farms were in a state of ruin? Because being forcibly removed from your home and land on some racist agenda sure doesn't do that to once thriving farmland.
As a sansei our family farm only lasted two generations. My parents thought the farming business was getting too hard to make a living at. They encouraged us to go to college and get a white collar job.
2:40 "Japanese American really exploited the possibility for intensively farming small pieces of land that were near Urban areas. They were willing to do the hard work of creating a really robust crop in a small plot of land and then getting it to market." Does she know the definition of exploit/exploitation?
We didn't communicate, you just popped up with these deranged comments from time to time. Given your reaction, I'm guessing you're still kinda insane. I'll leave you to it. Have fun.
Again, I still don't remember who you are but I'm VERY VERY HAPPY that you remembered ME after all these long months and weeks!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!! Thanks for putting a BIG SMILE on my handsome face ;-)
Thank you for capturing this part of history that some would prefer forgotten/unknown. Let’s make a society that grows increasingly humane and peaceful ...for all.
I'm a 3rd generation Japanese American, I left the United States and relocated to Malaysia where I can be with my own kind. Bye by Seattle don't miss you at all.
My great grandfather came from Japan in the late 1920's early 30's my great grandparents and grandfather his siblings where put into camps in Poston,AZ fruit farmers in Southern California
You have lasted so long because of good fortune but also because you have worked so hard, put up with a lot of grief, and joy, kept on going when lesser people would quit. It wasn't all luck, a good portion was just discipline and, well, stubbornness.
That's very easy. Tippi Hedren. Most people know her from Alfred Hitchcock's film "The Birds" (1963). But read this story here. I remember learning about it years ago, she really helped out the Vietnamese refugees in America (well Southern California) >> www.takepart.com/article/2015/05/05/tippi-hedren-vietnamese-refugees-nail-industry
I barely hear anything about Colombian people or anything about Colombia in general it would be interesting to see something or anything targeting the Colombian community 🇨🇴
Sugar On Acid I don't mean to be hostile, but what have Colombians done for America on the level that Japanese or other Asian Americans have? There are many examples for say Mexicans and Mexican-Americans, but the history and presence of Colombians in this country unfortunately isn't as significant. It's just the truth :/
theworldhere247 you are right Colombia isn’t that significant besides causing “problems” at times but on the other hand the US has done a lot for us and that they don’t recognize themselves. And that’s my point I barely hear about a certain topic targeting Colombian community because there has to be something that affects a certain area (Miami). Off topic but since you compared Japanese and other asian communities to Colombia, Colombia had opened doors to many Asian immigrants fleeing from their country and that includes other South American countries too, so at times there’s going to be communities that won’t be able to get on the same level as an another community.
Nice program. Go to Steinbeck Museum. It talking a little bit about Japanese Farmers. The History Channel did a bit on this subject. The Grocer Association, Agra Business pushed to have the Japanese removed and interned during the War because of competition. Just about all the Countries that where on the Pacific Rim, South America, Central America and Mexico did the same thing, not just the United States.
It's sad the Americans basically agreed to interment because it was financially beneficial to them, with their competitors gone they could buy the Japanese farms. My grandma said some of them bought the land to give back once the interned citizens were free. My dad worked as an executive for Tanimura & Antle, he even met Mr Tanimura the owner from the original family. If Japanese and Mexican citizens hadnt improved the California agriculture our state wouldnt have such a prolific economy originally based on exporting produce
I dont blame them for leaving .California did not treat them right but they are coming back to l.a. south bay area l.a. and o.c. had alot of japanese now ramen is big with foodies
Awesome awesome awesome!! Im a farming enthusiasts:) love the farming lifestyle. But does anyone know how to be a farmer??? Do you just buy land then grow from there, then sell to neighbours?
If you dig deep enough, you'll find skeletons in the closets of every living, moving thing. Only thing you'll learn is that life is only good when you look at it from a single narrow perspective.
In no way to excuse the Relocation, but this must be kept in mind. There was a huge fear of invasion after Pearl Harbor. As irrational as that seems now, the public, but not surprisingly the US Navy, was convinced an invasion was on. The Japanese army smashed through all obstacles in the first months of the Pacific War, and the US Army was pretty pathetic. And the Fleet was sunk. Just something to think about.
I believe that in America hosts the largest Japanese population in the world outside Japan, not that darn big latin American country when most of you know I guess, but Canada where I live has more Japanese then peru does. I wish they talk about the growing Japanese American community like cool Japantowns or Little Tokyo!
+@@meooowww3672 No, I never think brazil would, brazil is like Africa they do not have Japanese people in poorer countries like Africa or brazil, many Japanese move to America to live there and created nihonmachi and Canada too, Japanese learn English in Japan and move to America and Canada too, my art teacher told me a lot of Japanese teenagers wish to be born in North America, so where did you think it's in brazil and not America, where'd you get that I never heard about Japanese in brazil and also someone told me a long time ago that many Japanese lives in Toronto too or Vancouver or New York? And don't call me dude, because I'm not, so are you a Japanese beginner ? Anyways did you know the Japanese many of them went to North America in the 19th century?
+@@hiraspc Ignorant American, ever, since I always believe many many Japanese are in America and in big cities of Canada, that's what some local people told me, I do not feel it was not accurate to say many went to brazil, Japanese thinks of American dream, they do not think about brazil just as the chinese or koreans did too, Japanese thinks brazil is poor, but I heard by users that Japanese thinks brazil is dirty, stinky and dangerous and thinks about moving to America, even I did see chinese and koreans are living in brazil, but same amount how small as the Japanese were small in brazil, but very smaller of Japanese in dominican republic, so is vietnamese and indians too and how dare you call my art teacher preposterous, he is a smart guy and nice, he is not preposterous at all! Where did you get an idea of brazil has a million, brazil may have dozen thousands of Japanese population now a days so is other Asians too in brazil?! What about koreans and chinese ended up many go to South America too on the exclusive act, because they were banned too in the 20th century in America until the 60s? America has a Japanese mayor, but peru has just only thousand Japanese there! They say many of the Japanese plan to stay in brazil for a few years, make money and then go back to Japan unlike Japanese go live in America forever, for brazil many of them did though before the 21st century, but such a shame some couldn't go back to their home country Japan as they planned to desperately, because of those racist brazilian men authorities who shouldn't ban their Japanese language, but instead killing them on the corridor of death in wwII or put them to internment camps in brazil, but did import some back to Japan, some of them died and this is how it's inaccurate to say there are millions, it's only a dozen or hundred thousands in brazil as the chinese, because many Japanese speaks English and many move to America, they can't communicate English in brazil, because brazil is not English as Belize does! Japan has no little brazil, Japan only has many little America towns or copy America, Japan is only into American culture, not brazilian and they do not know very much about brazil, but knows America very much! I think they have mexican restaurants rarely as chinatowns! No, it does not have 2 million, many Japanese won't have been many go to brazil, it would be just a few just like the Japanese in Dubai, germany or italy! It is not 2 million, some articles say it was 1 million, 1.5 or 1.4 million, but it said the total of Japanese immigration to brazil was counted over 242,643 like that's over a thousand Japanese, brazil has a thousand Japanese like other countries of the spanish countries, America had the Japanese first arrived there in the early 1880s and there were, already more then that, but brazil like peru had it way late, Canada has more Japanese then peru same to USA has more Japanese then brazil, because they arrive in brazil in the late 1900s, the right count which the Japanese came first before, eh? I am not a dude, so stop calling me dude! Don't say about my sentences like that, I tried my best though, I have a learning disability! Nine, do you meant mine?
+@Ramen Lover That's not a very nice way to say, but I find interesting about your story of your family moved from Japan to USA in the early 1900s, it even said before your family moved, there were many other Japanese families moving there, already before too like "The Japanese population in the United States grew from 148 in 1880 (mostly students) to 2,039 in 1890 and 24,326 by 1900." so I know there were thousands then before to a million today that becomes the largest Japanese colony today outside Japan and that the Americans honored for that to have. No, USA wasn't an enemy to Japan, USA and Japan has a special friendship, since 1980 before the war I think, but brazil could be an enemy too to them in wwII, but brazil hosts the largest Japanese population in south america while in USA hosts the largest Japanese population of you all Japanese Americans in the world outside Japan, even though Hawaii and Canada got them before USA, but 30 years before to peru or brazil after USA got them, California host them the largest in the world behind Tokyo! Do you find it cool that both US and Japan flags match the same colours of red and white, like Hawaii, Canada and peru flags do too, but not brazil flag it don't match, because it has no red and white, even USA has red and white stripes just as Japan flag has that sometimes with red and white stripes too was cool?
+@Ramen Lover No, brazil didn't let new Japanese coming to brazil in wwII for 10 years, but a Japanese native has told me years ago that the Japanese government stopped the immigration to brazil in 1973, what is neutral and hostile? I'm sure many Japanese have come to USA in the 50s after the war ended.
My sister was attending one of her boys high school basketball games when another parent came up and said, "so I hear you're from a family that farmed in the area? My family farmed as well. I'm so and so. I just wanted to say hi since our boys are on the same team". My sister said it was awkward and replied with a surprised "nice to meet you". Since the gov wouldn't recognize our father or the other children as US citizens tho they were born on the farm, they had to pick people that said "we'll use the land while your gone keeping the profits and give it back when you return". Mind you my father and his siblings were children left to fend for themselves after the FBI took their father away without much explanation and no way to contact each other for months. Friends, neighbors and the attorney were entrusted one of the seven properties it was divided in to better the odds of some of it being returned. And the children had to do all this and move to Colorado by themselves. When they all finally returned almost three years later, only the attorney kept his promise of giving back his portion the land. The six other families kept the properties instead. The gal that introduced herself at the game was likely unaware of how her family got into the farming business but my sister knew. The gal must have found out not long after their meeting because my sister never saw her again.
that just goes to show how the path Heaven is a narrow road... most aren't going there. He took our sins and was mercilessly judged in our place. But only those who sought Him earnestly and His forgiveness were forgiven. The others were content thinking they did not need to be forgiven. Don't make this mistake-- we all need to be forgiven but we must seek Him & His forgiveness earnestly.
why are early 20th century japanese migrants around the pacific always a bunch of farmers? in the philippines, they are also known to be abaca plantation farmers in davao in the early 20th century and in hawaii, theyre like pineapple plantation farmers
yup, what race you are doesn't matter, what matters is where you grew up and your soul belongs to where you grew up, even if you're Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai,...etc
*Dear: Ramen Lover* who last said to me "lol there more than you think. you just have to know where they are." and now I find your channel saying "This channel does not exist." the reason your comments gone, why did you vanished, I'd like to reply you still about what more then I think there are after I said "Me too, I ate ramen before, also udon too, but I wish the Japanese restaurants serve soba noodles." and I was late to reply you, please return, I'm disappointed that I can't reply you now?!
Hey AJ, for all these comments here your audience has 0 clue about Asians in the USA, recommend if you could make more videos on this topic that commenters only seem to learn history from Hollywood and netflix
Trump supporter detected..! 👍🏻 you may be born and raised but your ancestors weren’t , the only native Americans r the red indians, so stop this hatred towards the immigrants as everyone except them are immigrants.. Ignorant piece of shit!
Oh shit, so your ancestors were involved in the genocide of the native Americans and slavery, no wonder ur so racist & ignorant.. Get rid of the racist bone biyyaaacchh it’s 21st century...
But a country made out of the genocide and slavery, is not a country to be proud of.. Where’s your humility brother (typical trump supporters), at least accept the fact that without the immigrants it would be shit place to live in, even for a rich bugger like you.. (If ur one)
t dog dude YOU were not part of all those innovations and inventions. The only privilage you have is that you are of the same colour as the people who created this modern world, but they may not have been your ethnicity at all. They were not related to you, you did not and do not contribute. Stop your entitlement.
From what i see these days, immigrants would just take the easy way in. Get a one one ticket then asked for a refugee status once in the airport with free housing/allowance. They basically skipped all the people in line which are doing it by legal process.
Man from manila very true. Sad how some american lives get throw away in the name of law and its ohkay. While non citizens get a reward basically. Why do we care for them more than Americans.
As far as I know any "forced labor agriculture was the government ensuring they could feed themselves during war time". But in most of those camps, I think food wasn't easily grown, given the desert conditions and soil conditions. You can bet what we won't see from AJ+ (or Al Jazeera or any other left leaning network), is a documentary on the German or Italian internees in several camps throughout the USA, - such as in Texas).
After all these decades, hearing this injustice still makes my blood boil. The government can and always will bend its supposed ideals to suit its voters, oops I mean donors. Case in point, - Progressive Except for Palestine.

They say many of the Japanese plan to stay in brazil for a few years, make money and then go back to Japan unlike Japanese go live in America forever, for brazil many of them did though before the 21st century, but such a shame some couldn't go back to their home country Japan as they planned to desperately, because of those racist brazilian men authorities who shouldn't ban their Japanese language, but instead killing them on the corridor of death in wwII or put them to internment camps in brazil, but did import some back to Japan, some of them died and this is how it's inaccurate to say there are millions, it's only a dozen or hundred thousands in brazil as the chinese, because many Japanese speaks English and many move to America, they can't communicate English in brazil, because brazil is not English as Belize does!
Japan has no little brazil, Japan only has many little America towns or copy America, Japan is only into American culture, not brazilian and they do not know very much about brazil, but knows America very much!
I think they have mexican restaurants rarely as chinatowns!
No, it does not have 2 million, many Japanese won't have been many go to brazil, it would be just a few just like the Japanese in Dubai, germany or italy!
It is not 2 million, some articles say it was 1 million, 1.5 or 1.4 million, but it said the total of Japanese immigration to brazil was counted over 242,643 like that's over a thousand Japanese, brazil has a thousand Japanese like other countries of the spanish countries, America had the Japanese first arrived there in the early 1880s and there were, already more then that, but brazil like peru had it way late, Canada has more Japanese then peru same to USA has more Japanese then brazil, because they arrive in brazil in the late 1900s, the right count which the Japanese came first before, eh?
I am not a dude, so stop calling me dude!
Don't say about my sentences like that, I tried my best though, I have a learning disability!
Nine, do you meant mine?
+@Ramen Lover That's not a very nice way to say, but I find interesting about your story of your family moved from Japan to USA in the early 1900s, it even said before your family moved, there were many other Japanese families moving there, already before too like "The Japanese population in the United States grew from 148 in 1880 (mostly students) to 2,039 in 1890 and 24,326 by 1900." so I know there were thousands then before to a million today that becomes the largest Japanese colony today outside Japan and that the Americans honored for that to have.
No, USA wasn't an enemy to Japan, USA and Japan has a special friendship, since 1980 before the war I think, but brazil could be an enemy too to them in wwII, but brazil hosts the largest Japanese population in south america while in USA hosts the largest Japanese population of you all Japanese Americans in the world outside Japan, even though Hawaii and Canada got them before USA, but 30 years before to peru or brazil after USA got them, California host them the largest in the world behind Tokyo!
Do you find it cool that both US and Japan flags match the same colours of red and white, like Hawaii, Canada and peru flags do too, but not brazil flag it don't match, because it has no red and white, even USA has red and white stripes just as Japan flag has that sometimes with red and white stripes too was cool?
+@Ramen Lover No, brazil didn't let new Japanese coming to brazil in wwII for 10 years, but a Japanese native has told me years ago that the Japanese government stopped the immigration to brazil in 1973, what is neutral and hostile?
I'm sure many Japanese have come to USA in the 50s after the war ended.
Shreena is gorgeous
Why did German immigrants not suffer this treatment in WWII?
They suffered in ww1
Cause they were white
Who you calling Jap, mojado? And those germs weren't in the US for generations, the germs came only 30+ yrs before pendejo.
My sister was attending one of her boys high school basketball games when another parent came up and said, "so I hear you're from a family that farmed in the area? My family farmed as well. I'm so and so. I just wanted to say hi since our boys are on the same team". My sister said it was awkward and replied with a surprised "nice to meet you".
Since the gov wouldn't recognize our father or the other children as US citizens tho they were born on the farm, they had to pick people that said "we'll use the land while your gone keeping the profits and give it back when you return". Mind you my father and his siblings were children left to fend for themselves after the FBI took their father away without much explanation and no way to contact each other for months. Friends, neighbors and the attorney were entrusted one of the seven properties it was divided in to better the odds of some of it being returned. And the children had to do all this and move to Colorado by themselves.
When they all finally returned almost three years later, only the attorney kept his promise of giving back his portion the land. The six other families kept the properties instead.
The gal that introduced herself at the game was likely unaware of how her family got into the farming business but my sister knew. The gal must have found out not long after their meeting because my sister never saw her again.
that just goes to show how the path Heaven is a narrow road... most aren't going there. He took our sins and was mercilessly judged in our place. But only those who sought Him earnestly and His forgiveness were forgiven. The others were content thinking they did not need to be forgiven. Don't make this mistake-- we all need to be forgiven but we must seek Him & His forgiveness earnestly.
why are early 20th century japanese migrants around the pacific always a bunch of farmers? in the philippines, they are also known to be abaca plantation farmers in davao in the early 20th century and in hawaii, theyre like pineapple plantation farmers
I don't see japanese. All i can see is american farmers. The unsung heroes that feed the people
Got to love asian american history and how much they've contributed to americans.
Comrade nunes family got their land thru this confiscation process
yup, what race you are doesn't matter, what matters is where you grew up and your soul belongs to where you grew up, even if you're Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai,...etc
Racism
*Dear: Ramen Lover* who last said to me "lol there more than you think. you just have to know where they are." and now I find your channel saying "This channel does not exist." the reason your comments gone, why did you vanished, I'd like to reply you still about what more then I think there are after I said "Me too, I ate ramen before, also udon too, but I wish the Japanese restaurants serve soba noodles." and I was late to reply you, please return, I'm disappointed that I can't reply you now?!
I d suggest as one of the future episodes is about Greeks and their contribution to the movement for workers rights.
Hey AJ, for all these comments here your audience has 0 clue about Asians in the USA, recommend if you could make more videos on this topic that commenters only seem to learn history from Hollywood and netflix
I want to see bout Nepalese people too, can you do it..?
t dog , so should you! Racist maniac.....
Trump supporter detected..! 👍🏻 you may be born and raised but your ancestors weren’t , the only native Americans r the red indians, so stop this hatred towards the immigrants as everyone except them are immigrants.. Ignorant piece of shit!
Oh shit, so your ancestors were involved in the genocide of the native Americans and slavery, no wonder ur so racist & ignorant.. Get rid of the racist bone biyyaaacchh it’s 21st century...
But a country made out of the genocide and slavery, is not a country to be proud of.. Where’s your humility brother (typical trump supporters), at least accept the fact that without the immigrants it would be shit place to live in, even for a rich bugger like you.. (If ur one)
t dog dude YOU were not part of all those innovations and inventions. The only privilage you have is that you are of the same colour as the people who created this modern world, but they may not have been your ethnicity at all. They were not related to you, you did not and do not contribute. Stop your entitlement.
And none of them went back.Nowheres perfect,including Japan.
"They resented the success they were being to enjoy"... Just like black wall street.
Pull yourself up by your own boot straps my ass.

Myles Lundberg when my grandpa immigrated here from sicily in the 50s he lived in new orleans for 10 years. had crazy stories about living there
My nonno would never go down there all the way to the 1980s.
Mafia 3.
Phil Anselmo is 1 of them.
Do the Lhotsampa refugees from Bhutan
Ah... land of the free.
From what i see these days, immigrants would just take the easy way in.
Get a one one ticket then asked for a refugee status once in the airport with free housing/allowance.
They basically skipped all the people in line which are doing it by legal process.
Man from manila very true.
Sad how some american lives get throw away in the name of law and its ohkay.
While non citizens get a reward basically. Why do we care for them more than Americans.
As far as I know any "forced labor agriculture was the government ensuring they could feed themselves during war time". But in most of those camps, I think food wasn't easily grown, given the desert conditions and soil conditions. You can bet what we won't see from AJ+ (or Al Jazeera or any other left leaning network), is a documentary on the German or Italian internees in several camps throughout the USA, - such as in Texas).
Do one on the rape culture in the Middle East
After all these decades, hearing this injustice still makes my blood boil. The government can and always will bend its supposed ideals to suit its voters, oops I mean donors. Case in point, - Progressive Except for Palestine.
They got nuked
If they were Korean people, they demanded compensation from the U. S. Government forever
