Japanese Internment Camps

What the American government did to Japanese Americans was cruel and unnecessary. They beckoned innocent civilians that were indeed of Japanese descend, but still humans whatsoever. While in those concentration camps, people were treated even worse than animals, humiliated and denigrated to no point. It was an inhuman treatment that Americans gave millions of other people out of sheer suspicion, speculation, and mainly discrimination.

America claims that they had nothing to do with the Holocaust and the German slaughter of Jews, and they're perfectly right. They did nothing. Neither helping Hitler and the Nazis nor rescuing the Jews until most of them had suffered tragic loss and pain. After that, America claimed that it would never do something as savage as that. Well, after the Japanese Internment Camps, and countless of other discriminating acts, America proved to be no different from Germany's savage actions.

Innocent Japanese-Americans were abused, exploited, tortured and killed in those ominous, isolated camps due to their terrible conditions and their wards' indifference. And they all suffered so much simply because of their race.

Once America is faced with these acts of cruel discrimination, it simply shrugs them off and urges everyone to 'look forward to a brighter, equal future,' because the past is the past. Yes, it's the past indeed, but not something from the past that should be easily forgotten or put away. There are still people who discriminate and/or mistreat Asian people because of what happened in the past, and this isn't an example of progressive change.
