YES - I know that most of the folks were american-born-english speaking. But the paranoia against them was that they were all working for the Japanese govt and all secret agents and whatnot. Would have made more sense to try to present info in their "own language".

#8For anyone that doubts that America is capable of truly awful, horrifying things, well, guess what, we are.

#9Just to be clear, there's zero talk of any Muslim internment other than in the fevered world of the anti-Trumpers, who are using it as a straw-bogeyman to stir people up.

#10With today's political climate I can't help but think that something like this could happen again.
