    So it was OK to intern all Japanese-americans during WWII based on their heritage? Can I use this logic today to decide things? I don’t think so.

      Lol what an Internet argument thing to say. Is that what you heard me say when you read that? That I wanted to throw people into internment camps and that I think what Americans did to the Japanese was okay?

      That was your takeaway from my comment?

        That I wanted to throw people into internment camps

        I did not remotely say that.

        and that I think what Americans did to the Japanese was okay?

        Which is closer to what I was asking.

        You lead with the assumption that they are “Chinese ‘expats’”. I don’t even know what your quotes on expats are doing there. Your later response was listing names and stating “Well…who could have seen this coming.”. To me, that just reads as you saying that Americans with Chinese-sounding names can’t be trusted. If that is indeed your position, I think it’s an awful, racist one.
