    It's like the 1942 Japanese Americans thrown into internment camps. That was arguably the worst thing we've ever done because they, unlike slaves, had Constitutional Rights and we took them away. We apologized and have moved on and hopefully we can learn from history. The Japanese moved on because instead of dwelling on the past, they have moved forward and now dominate everything from education to career success. The don't dwell on it and don't really talk about it
    Yep, we threw Japanese Americans into Camps while German Americans ran free down in Wishek and Linton. Guess they needed someone to stir the sauerkraut!
    Dealing with Racist issues in America and around the world is like evolution. A work in progress. Of course people today are not responsible for what happened 80 years ago but in order to deal with todays issues we cannot forget the mistakes of the past.

    When you put it that way, it's even more shocking

    German nationals and German Americans were interred during both world wars. During wwii unlike Japanese Americans who were detained en masse based only on their ethnicity. German nationals and German Americans were evaluated individually and were provided a modicum of due process.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    That's pretty fucked. Did some digging and we did it to Italians too

    Germans Americans were never even issued a formal apology

    11k Germans and 400k Japanese Americans

    I have to wonder how hard it would be to pick up German Americans. It's not like they look obviously German. I'm German.. and Irish

    What's considered a Gernan National? Someone from Germany and not a citizen I assume? I get that decision but American Born

    Is everything otherwise gonna be ok? I mean, the UNITED STATES sucks. I wish people who hate it would just leave for another, “better” country, because none of them have any questionable history. I’ll suggest Germany and or Russia for those that hate the USA, or, even better for you, China or Afghanistan. I mean, those places are so much better. Get busy leaving please. Goodbye!

    In WWII, I believe that it was almost all German and Italian nationals who got put in internment camps and there was some sort of due process involved - so it was not quite the same. I mean, there were over a million Americans who were born in Germany at the time. Heck, in my jr high German language class, half the kids raised their hands when asked if anybody in their family still spoke German at home.

    I'm not a huge history buff, but I do think that it would be better to teach the truth rather than fairy tales. For one thing, the truth is more interesting and, for another, it better prepares a person for citizenship. What baffles me is the same people who say that "You can't teach the truth because it makes us feel bad" are often the same ones who want to teach a false history in which the Confederates were the good guys.

    No one is against teaching the Truth, but just sick of all the libtard's continually living in the past and reliving slavery and other past troubles the USA had in it's short history. You ever notice that they always dwell on the bad and never on the good that the USA had done? It just gets old.

    People are waving Confederate flags all over the US right now. What should upset you more as an American than that?

    The irony is that almost everything good the US has ever done was violently opposed by the same types of people who think waving a Confederate flag is fine. Ending slavery was the best thing the US has ever done. Guess who opposed that? Women getting the right to vote was the second. I'd say decriminalizing being gay is right up there as well. Heck, let's make a list of all the great things the US has done so I can see where "low gas prices" fits in.
