    I made sure to take my sons to Manzanar (we live in California). I had tears in my eyes in my eyes the whole time of our visit.
    I had a neat surprise at Manzanar, too. I used to work in agricultural chemicals and by one of the cement foundations, there was a little sign that said “Henry Yada of Garden Grove was born here.” Mr. Yada was a farmer and one of my employer’s customers.

    This was a really good documentary, and the man's wife at the end, very inspiring. Also, those statistics, not because they are 'racial' statistics, but it's a lesson to everyone and anyone, irreguardless of what ethnic group or race we belong to. There is no principle that says that another race is going to be a greater enemy to you than your own necessarily, and yeah, we should judge people, individuals based on what we observe in their character

      Hi George, they could be related. The world is a small place with things like that. I'm sure there are records that could answer your question. I live in New Zealand so I'm not sure where you would go to find family lines in America but the internet is where I'd start. If you do ever find out let us know if your friends are okay with that of course. I wish you all the best if you search of life in general.

      ​@mlgodzilla4206 find another news source because wherever you are getting your basic information isn't giving you facts.
      The reason anybody is being held in jail/prison for this long without a trial or even seeing a judge is criminal. Just because they happen to set foot in DC. DC is the only place in the USA where the constitution doesn't apply to citizens.
      Only to politicians.
      The whole thing was a set up, no crimes took place because these patriots aren't criminals and didn't take the bait the capitol police laid out in front of them.

    Probably no one who is commenting was alive in WW2, America had been attacked by Japan. I talked to a lot of people who were. There was a lot of scared people who expected the Japanese to attack and invade Hawaii and the West Coast. People say that what was done was wrong, the threat from Japan was very real and our country, indeed the entire world was fighting for its survival. The view of history looking back in clear, the problem is seeing the future. It is not. A great many mistakes were made, but the war in the pacific was even more brutal than the war in Europe. It was racist on both sides. But one thing I can guarantee you Japanese detainees in America were treated a lot better than their counterparts under the Japanese.

      These were American who were relabeled as Japanese. If they were so scared then why didn’t they incarcerate the Japanese in Hawaii where the supposed incident took place? They wrongfully incarcerated Americans in America.
      And this whole plan was being set before the “attack” which they knew was coming because they made sure it would.
      The IRS had already started destroying financial records of the targeted so no record of their financial loss could not be proven.
      This wasn’t an unfortunate result of war. This was all painstakingly planned to target the Americans of Japanese ancestry who through hard work had become prominent American businessmen.
      This was about white privilege that still exists today.
