You people dont get it. Everyone is commenting on this video as if it is something the United States did to Japan.

This is about what the United States did to its own people.

@TheVila84 You have to remember how the world at the time, everyone was looking over their shoulder. To get attacked like we did, pissed off a-lot of people and scared them at the same time, so everything went into panic mode.

But we never abused these people like the Japanese, Germans and Soviets did in their camps. One of the reasons why whenever there was an American sector in a town, ALL of the towns residents wanted to do there, not the Brits, French etc.

We aren't cruel people.

@TheVila84 Not allowing them to marry outside of their race is total bullshit. It was very uncommon to see a Japanese man or women married to someone outside of their race because THEIR CULTURE LOOKED ON IT AS A VERY BAD THING. Out of all the Asian cultures, the Japanese are still the least to marry outside of their culture.

Racism has always been a WORLD thing, not just the U.S. We did not starve them, beat them etc in those camps, they were taken care of even though it was wrong.

@carrotjuse - World War II was a dark and dangerous time for everybody not just for Japanese citizens

living in the U.S. and their children . The U.S. govt. may have apologized but our govt. has made many

mistakes and this is one of the worst. It was just political correctness gone amuck.

@am220uss Most Americans now realize that this was a sorry chapter in our history. The US government apologized and paid reparations to some survivors. Then there are a few people like you.

@TheVila84 80,000 of the 120,000 people who were imprisoned by the United States government during World War II were American citizens, a direct violation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights! This is a disgraceful chapter in American history that gets short shrift in schools.

Another crappy amateur attempt at a documentary. Are there any professionally done documentaries about Japanese internment during WWII?

I remeber watching a movie (I guess it was Heart's war) were german cam commander reponded to american captured soldier, that they are no different from nazies: segregation of blacks and stuff. From hearing that movie my eyes were open, because I started to see USA as bullie, not the defendor.

Interesting how the sign "Notice to All Japanese Persons" in the video mentioned the British Columbia Security Commission. This was Canada and the Canadians did the same thing.

Great video. I may use parts of this for a dvd I'm working on to distribute locally about current events. It may help people accept the dangers that lay ahead if they see what has already happened
