So how would you interpret this statement if not inferring racism?

$1:

such wonderful things as Japanese Internment camps (why weren't there German internment camps?)

Very few Germans were actually interred though. Not anywhere near the scale of the Japanese.

And for people who say there's no such thing as white privilege:

$1:

The government examined the cases of German nationals individually

When you're white, you're always an individual, whose actions in no way reflect the actions of beliefs of other whites.

For everyone else, their actions are completely explained by their race or religion and so all members of that race/religion are held accountable - which is why virtually all Japanese were rounded up while only a handful of Germans were.

WTF are you talking about? The question was why NO Germans were interred but once again you with your typical left wing bent immediately attempt to minimize the fact that white people were also interred by playing the number game.

So, given your logic about how the the low number of Germans interred mean they don't count allow me to show you an example that follows your trend of minimization.

Very few Parisians were actually killed though. Not anywhere near the scale of the world trade center.

All of them are dead FFS and the numbers don't mean squat. So you might want to cut the crap because your anti white bias is showing through.

I like how we're all arguing so passionately, yet no one has supported Donald Trump

Let me make clear then that as of the past 24 hours I now support and endorse Donald Trump for the Republican nomination as the next President of The United States of America.

So, you'd turn on a fellow marine because he's a Muslim?

Gee, straw-man much? Nobody is saying those interned Germans don't count for anything.

His point, which he made in passing, was that we treated the German immigrants far better than the Japanese, and he is correct. 2,000 Germans detained based on their individual characteristics vs. 20,000 Japanese detained(and later expelled from BC) based on race.

herbie herbie:

What was racist?
Here in Canada, Germans and Italians (and some others) were interred if they thought they were a threat. ALL Japanese Canadians were interred.

Because, rightly or wrongly they were deemed a threat just like the women and children from Germanicus who came to Canada in 1876 were.

Nobody's saying that there wasn't racial prejudice in the interring of the Japanese but to say it was the sole cause of their internment is disingenuous and for the record both the Liberal and Conservative parties fanned the flames of that prejudice.

But histories revisionists seem to want to judge the actions of the passed from todays pulpit which ends up with this type of assumption.

Interring Japanese bad, interring Germans who'd been here for 76 years is okay because there weren't as many of them and they were white.

None of them should have been interred for the duration of the war. If they were as big a threat as made out to be they should have been interred vetted and the innocent ones released. But unfortunately if you read the WWII histories of places like Burma, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines and Hawaii you'd discover that there was an extensive network of Japanese 5th columnists, military members included conducting sabotage, gathering intel, spreading rumours and conducting other nefarious activities.

So, despite today's revisionists claims, there was a genuine cause for concern about national security.

You actually have the gall to claim I'm using a strawman.

Reread your post about the numbers and then you might want to rethink your accusation.

What is it that you've think I said? I see from your immediately preceding post that you don't understand a thing I've said. Who here was saying internment of Germans was OK, or that Conservatives were even partially responsible, loet alone primarily responsible?

I tell you what, I think we can make a deal...

Jeez...I almost feel sorry for these pathetic progs who always have to rely on their creative superiors for material.

Almost...but not really. The bill's in the mail for stealing this classic.

Why are you guys so lazy with your photo-shoppy-shop? You're using a picture of George C. Scott as Mussolini and not one of the real Mussolini. Here, fuck, it ain't that hard.

I think I'd prefer Trump over a fat guy dressed in an odd red suit with a funny hat and a long grey beard, who also likes to have kids sitting on his knee.
