Comment on US Internment Camps “Human Rights Crime of Century” by Anonymous:

@01:24 Definitely true, and Korean and Chinese politicians have brought up the Japanese atrocities purely to rally citizens behind them, as a rather tasteless hatemongering political move to make themselves more relevant.

But while prime ministers have been decent about addressing the atrocities, it’s still rather problematic that the Japanese government and people continue to deny this stuff ever happened e.g. textbook revisionism, censoring of works that detail Nanking, insisting that Korean comfort women were willing prostitutes, etc. It’d sort of be like if much of the American public, despite the government’s apologies for internment, generally agreed that internment didn’t really happen or wasn’t a big deal, and schools never taught children that yes, America too screwed up big time in terms of human rights.

50 years from now, I’m going to kick some middle eastern teen in the nuts and yell “NINE ELEVEN!”

“The greatest human rights violation of the 20th century!” . . . . . . No words.

History is cool, but only when reality is part of it. Sound like Japan is teaching BS in their schools if their own population does not know what happen in WW2.

My Grandfather was a soldier back then when Japan invaded Philippines, he said that Japanesse in America at that was lucky because they are treated more fairly. In those soldiers that got captured we’re forced to their own grave.

I find it odd that they would find the WWII internment camps to be the human rights violation of the century but they don’t bother to mention the fact that they also committed a human rights crime of the century as well, for the unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor, which is what incited the creation of these camps in the first place.
