  • I believe that the reason why the Japanese-americans were put in concentrational camp! It wasn't because we believe they might be spys! It was because were were predjudice! There were German and Italian descent! There were paper works knowing that they were Germans and Itailan immigrants!

  • They did the same in 1994, A University Medalist of Japanese descent was finally given the medal.. Berkeley is a cool university.
