Corrected Post: Get YOUR facts straight. The ISSEI or 1st gen. could NOT become US citizens by LAW. However, this woman and 2/3 of all internees WERE Amer. citizens loyal to the US - NOT POWs - quite diff. from ex., you gave. The comp. enmass was not paid until the 80's and was a paltry $20,000. You also forget that many Japanese served w/ distinction FOR the US in WW2. You confuse the "enemy" w/ people who are the same race/look like the enemy.

Japanese were too nice and are still to nice and allow Koreans to use and abuse them. Japan should have turned Korea into a pile of rubble for their atrocious, massacring, sneaky, malicious ways

I'm so sorry for all the people who went through this

But I feel even worse for the disgusting people who let this happen and who still express racism, because theyr'e all going to get what's coming to them!

Touching story. I'm an American Sansei, but my grandmother did not go through the intournment experience as she was a warbride brought to america after world war II by my grandfather. Still hits pretty close to home though.

Koreans are joined the mongols, used them to exploit other nations, massacring chinese, vietnamese, Middle Eastern people, Japanese, and eastern europeans.

Now to take the spot light off of Korea's atrocious history they go around every where Japanese are a sabatoge and put down Japanese to cover their own malicious, hateful nature

False history? That is hilarious and flat out projection. All other Asian nations claim Korea to make up false histories, all koreans do is keep making up false history and then throwing it back in the faces of other nations.

Koreans committed horrendous atrocities to many nations, but Japan and Vietnam remember those atrocities the best.

Korea help mongols invade Vietnam three times, and korea committed brutal acts against the vietnamese during the vietnam war.
