The United States' decision to put Japanese people in concentration camps was a human rights violation. These orders demonstrated the disrespect that the United States is so often characterized with.

I am happy that the descendants of these crimes got reparations. Now, if only Black people could get reparations for hundreds of years of forced labor. It seems that even as the United States violated the human rights of Japanese, they were willing to engage in a level of restorative justice that they refuse to provide for the descendants of slavery.

During WWII, The United States only got involved once they got attacked and as usual became very racist towards people who match the race of the country they pursue. Thanks for writing about this. I agree that too many people skate past this in their understnading of WWII history/
