Why is anyone surprised? If we should've learned anything from the last couple of weeks, it should be that it turns out that despite recent progress, America hasn't strayed far from its roots. The powers of government have long been used as a weapon against various groups over our history. All that's happened recently is the removing of the mask.
um, well, if you're going to take it in that direction... FDR was a democrat.
France doesn't ask for or record race/ethnicity on its censuses for exactly this reason. If you don't store it, you can't be made to give it up.
Well there are no records of any Japanese running around with katanas chopping heads from that time. On the other hand in blindly immigrant accepting Europe though... We learned our lesson since last year.
Are you joking? The Japanese military committed many atrocities in invaded countries: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre
Also isn't the katana mostly stabbing weapon? Slicing someone in two requires too much effort IMO.
The Obama White House has proposed adding a new racial category for Middle Easterners to the census. It is a poor plan for many reasons; now we have another. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/09/30/white...
With all the information organizations have on people, I'm not sure the government having official classifications makes any difference.

"Middle Eastern" is not a race though. I'm Turkish and we are very Caucasian. :)
"I'm sad to learn it," he says of the new discovery. "It would be sadder yet to continue to deny that it happened, if, as now seems clear, it did happen. You cannot learn from and correct past mistakes unless you know about them." I wonder if this will ever be said about Snowden in the NSA
>> You cannot learn from and correct past mistakes unless you know about them. I must getting older, because I see this statement a lot and when you look back, its clear we never do learn from our past mistakes.
Hopefully now people finally realize what a dumb "mistake" that was, to think and act like that post an administration like Bush's. Will the next Democrat president act the same way about Trump's administration's crimes? Probably, especially if people don't criticize him or her about it, because they would be too busy patting themselves on the back for beating the Republicans in the election.
