Dear Editor of the Los Angeles Times,Hello. I am a white American citizen living in Los Angeles. I have just read about theSupreme Court case of Korematsu v. the United States, and had some opinions I would like todiscuss. This case as made me very irate as I do not agree with the way Japanese Americansare being treated.I believe that forcing Japanese Americans into internment camps is unfair andunconstitutional. It is bypassing their rights as American citizens. Yes, they are of Japanesedissent, but they chose to be here. They left their home country, culture, family, and basicallyeverything they knew behind just to become citizens in this country. They want nothing morethan to take advantage of all this great land has to offer, just like everyone else. It is unfair todiscriminate against them because of their nationality. Korematsu should not have beenarrested for resisting containment, as freedom is a founding principal of the United States. Iagree with the dissenting opinion, as the majority voted to withhold Korematsu’s conviction
By not being a social activist. Forcibly pushing an agenda to "change" the views of the people always results in discrimination, hate, and violence. The best way to achieve social change is on a personal level. Forget what is going on the world around you because you cannot change the views of the people around you, you can only change your own views. If you act as an tolerable individual, as a good person, and as a person who believes in treating people as human beings, you will create more of a positive effect than these so called "peaceful" protestors who think it is okay to shut down businesses, institutions, and parades in order to make a point.
B. usually arbitrated the dispute.
This is due to horrible conditions for factory and migrant workers
