I'm glad you approve

@hasnpe I don't argue that nazi germany killed & exterminated jews, dumbfuck. It's called history.

The treatment of japanese-americans was not even close to the racism that black americans or native americans had to endure .

pls go hug a tree and jump off a cliff.

[hasnpe]

@fluffy1931 the point is that american poicies regarding japanese-americans were also racist.... you argue that nazi germany killed or exterminated jews and blabla.... none of that takes away the fact that the treatment to japanese-americans was wrong.....

[fluffy1931]

@hasnpe that would be the point, dumbfuck. Nazi Germany did 20th century state sponsored genocide.

[hasnpe]

@fluffy1931 and if that not racism.... maybe the US should do the same with their arab population.... just in case, u know.... like in the old times....

[hasnpe]

@fluffy1931 maybe you should read more carefuly, "dumbfuck"... did I say anything about genocide?? did I say that the same happend in the US?? ... NNOOO!!!! ... all you said is that the german policy was worst than the american because they (germans) where killing jew, unlike the americans who "just" kept JapAmer in camps.. (FYI. I havent said otherwise...."dumbfuck")... I just said that what happend in the US during WW2 was racism..

[fluffy1931]

@hasnpe ..,your quote dumbfuck, " so you are saying that because japanese-americans were a minority and therefore it was ok... thats segregation, racismis and unfair... that was one of hitles policies against germany's minority, jews..... "

Hitler & Nazi Germanys policy was ethnic cleansing, dumbfuck.

Mass murder & extermination of inferior races based on a program of racial hygiene that included genocide.

What happened in the US to japanese americans was not genocide or ethnic cleansing.

[hasnpe]

@fluffy1931 Im not german, Im not a nazi, Im not justificanting nazi germany.... Im just saying what I think its a fact, the interment of those japanese-americans was an act of racism... there were there just because of their background... as simple as that... and about germany, everybody agrees that germany had racial policies, I thinks thats undeniable... but people still argues if the japanese-americans treatment was or wasnt fair.... and I think it was unfare.... it was segragation....

[fluffy1931]

@hasnpe ..,so you are trying to equate the US treatment of japanese americans interned during ww2. Germanys' treatment of it's minoritys was state sponsored mass extermination & murder through NSDAP racial hygiene policys. These not only applied to Germanys minoritys, jews. Germanys' state sponsored murder applied to minoritys & people & soldiers both inside & outside of Germany based on their - 'politics'.

google ---- for example ------ germanys Commisar Order June 6' 1941'

[hasnpe]

@fluffy1931 so you are saying that because japanese-americans were a minority and therefore it was ok... thats segregation, racismis and unfair... that was one of hitles policies against germany's minority, jews..... so under that thought why the US goverment doesnt gather all arab descendents to prevent terrorism in the mainland?... thats wrong! FYI. english is not my first language, so if there some mistakes, sorry, doing my best

@hasnpe The population of German citizens in the United States – not to mention American citizens of German birth – was far too large for a general policy of internment comparable to that used in the case of the Japanese in America.

The United States government detained and interned over 11,000 German enemy aliens.
