/r/politics explains that FDR was only putting the Japanese in internment camps for their own good.

Internment camps happened because there was an actual 5th column attack during Pearl Harbor that shocked the government and lead to fears that Japanese-Americans would act on ethnic instead of national loyalty. The Japanese also weren't exclusively targeted; the Germans and Italians were also placed in camps in limited numbers but widespread internment was deemed impractical due to the sheer number of them in the US. Anti-German sentiment was quite high and many German immigrants stopped speaking German and anglicized their names to fit in and show their loyalty to America. Hawaiian Japanese-Americans weren't interned (ironically because that's where the original event occurred) because they made up too high of a percentage of the local population and their labor was needed for the war effort.

Redditors don't know any history that wasn't taught in the terrible public school curriculum, which is mostly "anti"-racism these days, so no surprise they came up with that braindead theory.

$18 an hour for a foreman? Jesus. People get paid more to wipe old people's asses in the old age home where I live.

Oh wow you live in an old age home? That's crazy, I'm impressed that you're able to use the internet so well.

That's all sorry for the dumb joke.
...Wait, or do you actually live in an elderly home? Not that there would be anything wrong with that of course.

I mean, that sounds pretty in line with modern internet liberal philosophy. Being incredibly racist is ok so long as you pretend it's for their own good.

Redditors refuse to believe that Reservations are corrupt shitholes despite what Natives themselves tell them.

serious question, how do normies expect a guy to react in a situation like that?
get angry at her? get angry at the other guy? be stoic and show no reaction at all?

In my experience? They want him to be jealous. And often, they want him to be deeply upset by the thought of them with another man.

That's what they actually want. What they say they want is a joking reaction which says, 'I'm pretending to be jealous but really you go with your empowered female self, look at how lucky I am to be with a desirable woman who I would never think of trying to stop doing what she wants!' And to be fair, the continuation of that thought also applies to some - not all, but all least some - women, which is, 'My girlfriend's feelings and wants are far more important than my own.'

But generally it's the first one. More women than would like to admit it want to feel like their partner would physically fight for them, because the indignation of being treated like the man's possession is a more mental belief. That desire to be loved so strongly that your partner  gets possessive, however, is strongly emotional.

The original post comes off as a woman who finds her boyfriend too reserved, so she's trying to provoke reactions. It is, of course, exactly what you'd expect for the SJWs of reddit to both slap a sexual identity diagnosis on him and also start suggesting the problem is entirely his and maybe she should dump him.

That'd be a pretty good theory except for that part where none of this happened and the government didn't even bother to claim it was an issue. And as part of this "did not villainize Japanese Americans" they ignored actual research they asked for on their patriotism and instead painted them as all loyalists to Japan out of racial solidarity even those who had never left America. But these are only some minor errors really.

The Japanese internment is one of the dumbest examples of liberal handwringing ever.

1. Japan had intelligence networks embedded in Japanese expatriate communities.

2. The west coast, where most Japs lived, was chock full of military bases, factories etc.

3. The US army and intelligence was tiny in 1941. There were nowhere near enough men to guard every place (especially since the standing military now had to train a military of millions.

So what do you do? Just hope that all Japanese turn out to be loyal Americans, and not a single one is ab agent or recruiter? Divert tens of thousands of men to guard every military installation 24/7?

Or do what they did with many white German/Italian Americans and intern them for the duration of the war?

I'm a huge history buff and have been most of my life and didn't find out about the German and Italian US interment camps until my 20s. It's completely glossed over in US public schooling. We were taught all about the horrible treatment of Japanese Americans but for whatever reason there weren't even footnotes on Italian and German American camps. The US education system has a strong bias when it comes to what they select to cover in books and what they ignore.
 
I'm honestly amazed more people here haven't run into women in the trades. I just left a site in Texas that is a massive oil refinery plant being constructed on the coast and easily a quarter to a third of the work force are Hispanic women.


It's like the comments here about how the US doesn't have industrial/manufacturing jobs. They do. There are plenty of jobs. I could get someone a job at a steel mill within a couple of days. No experience necessary.

But it is going to be in a location where the land, power, and labor force is cheap. It's not going to be in the rust belt or in a major population center.

It's weird. This has to be the first generation of Americans that outright refuse to move for work..
 
Has anyone made a clone of Reddit, and just waited for popular subreddits to get banned so that they can "adopt" them?

It's the first generation of Americans raised by broken homes. The fact they don't want to move isn't surprising.

What's more horrible is you don't hear about the anti-German sentiments during the first world War.

Before we got involved in that war there were hundreds of thousands of German speaking communities and newspapers across the country due to how many Germans had immigrated here. Many of them were first or second generation and formed tight knot enclaves as farmers or industrialists.

Then we got involved in WW1 and suddenly speaking German or having a German sounding name made you a traitor, so many Germany families dropped German names and the language in favor of English names and the English language. The papers were all run out of town as were ethnic community events either by mobs or the government treating them as enemy aliens.

There is a lot of talk about WW2 killing the dying German communities in America but WW1 was what really destroyed it. Many regional dialects of German that were spoken in America effectively went extinct within a generation due to fear of lynch mobs and violent gangs.
