Racism in our nation, is nothing new or strange. It only been within my life time that such a thing began to erode away. Of course, imprisoning Japanese Americans were unconstitutional but most people, (white people), regards it as a necessary steps in the face of over reaction of the Pearl Harbor attack. Interestingly, that over reaction still resonate among many white Americans today. We tend to forget history when bad things happened to us. Or we tends to ignored it if it become a inconvenience. It should be noted that there were whole lot more German and Italian Americans, then there were Japanese Americans. You can't imprisoned numbers that goes into the millions compared to few hundreds of thousands. Beside, most Japanese Americans in Hawaii were not imprison either and they formed the bedrock of the famous 442nd Regimental Team.
