2. One of the many debts our nation has yet to repay

3. Also Japanese owned farmland in the US.

4. Assholes. These things should be educated more in Japan because most of all the racism we know is about Black Americans or maybe Jewish Germans – one may join BLM hashtag on twitter but rarely ever know anything about how they were treated in North America.

   I just hope better light to be shed on the them and their descendants.

5. Gee, we talk about American Japanese internment camps, but this is the first time I hear Canada did the same thing. And I’m Canadian!!

   This is the problem with Canada, we keep hiding our human rights violations behind those of the US.

6. While less documented, that kind of racists acts also happened in Mexico with people of Japanese, German and in less way Italian origin during WWII, Mexico also declared the war to the axis and provided information to the US about presumptive spies of enemy nations in their country
