Question

In two to three sentences, what do you think about the treatment of Japanese Americans during World War 2 Was the $20,000 reparation enough? Why or why not?​

Answer 1

The treatment of Japanese Americans was grotesque, we essentially replicated German concentration and internment camps but with different branding, all in the name of security. It maybe made some sense at the time but it was a racist endeavor nonetheless and assumed that all Japanese people or those of Japanese descent were somehow enemies of the country, which is a horrible thing to do. $20,000 is probably not enough because we're talking about entire families being ripped from their homes for "security reasons," resulting in mistreatment and abuse.
