Why doesn’t FDR get more flak for putting Japanese in camps?

[IAmNotAlpharius]

It was literally racism in action.

 

[millais]

Because the Niihau Incident justified wariness of enemy aliens on American soil.

 

[likeacrackado]

Why doesn't MLK get more flak for beating prostitutes?

 

[mr.moon1488]

Because the Niihau Incident justified wariness of enemy aliens on American soil.

Unless they're Jewish billionaire pedophiles fleeing arrest in Germany apparently.

 

[LolRaccoon]

It's inconvenient.

 

[Pringles Can]

Some things in history just are forgotten over time or straight up ignored. Ghandi being surrounded by naked girls almost all the time in private, MLK pretty much screwing prostitutes constantly. People seem to ignore smaller terrible things if the end result was good.

 

[Open Window Maniac]

Because he had the correct politics

 

[Testacles Maximus]

It wasn’t the worst thing we did to the Japanese in those days.

 

[Slap47]

It does. Woke people and the far-right use it to basicly make him the worst president when literally any other person at the time would have done the same.

 

[MysticLord]

Because a lot of organized crime families made hundreds of millions of dollars (in todays's money) stealing property from Japanese-Americans, and these families dominate politics today.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Canadian interment camps are a trip to see.

 

[MediocreMilt]

Because George Takei needs to tell you how racist America is for putting him personally into one of those camps, but needs to do so while shilling for Progressive Causes™, and FDR is a hero of the Progressive Left, so he has to tell you how Drumpf is just like the people who put him in the camps even though the people he sides with idolize the guy that actually put him in the camps.

 

[ColtWalker1847]

Because the Niihau Incident justified wariness of enemy aliens on American soil.

The internment didn't effect Hawaii. Only near the Pacific Coast on the mainland US.

Because he had the correct politics

(D)

 

[Suburban Bastard]

because they looked at him funny

ever had an asian man give you the evil eye before, it's creepy, you don't sleep well for days.

 

[Alex Krycek]

Japan had a history of sneak attacks that kind of pissed off the West.

It kind of started with their conflicts with Korea in the 1600s but the Japanese Pirates did it earlier. Portuguese and Dutch observed it personally. Then they did the same thing to China, then Russia, and then China again. Pearl Harbor was the last straw. They kept doing it. That just ended up making the rest of the world mad.

 

[Meat Target]

Because muh gibs and muh Hitler.

 

[draggs]

Because the anti-weeb alliance is still stronk

 

[Pissmaster]

Trump called Rosie O'Donnel fat tho so he's the real bad guy

>He doesn't know that anime, JAV and other aspects of Japanese culture are just the means for Japan to start doing this again

Lmao. Laughing at you Gaijin

 

[z0mb0]

besides the sneak attack? probably the same reason internment camps for German Americans don't get brought up, there were reasonable concerns at the time and in war shit gets awful quick.
