My great grandfather was arrested by Japanese soldiers. He was with the NBI.

My grandmother spent the entire war in a concentration camp.

In America. Despite being a second generation immigrant, she was considered "the enemy".

Italians were not put in concentration camps.

Germans were not put in concentration camps. My grandfater was half-German, and he was even allowed to sign up for service in the USAF.

The Japanese were separated, because the US Government was spending a lot on demonizing the entire Japanese race to psych up American soldiers to go to war in the Pacific, a place they didn't really care all that much about.

Grabe naman kasi pagka-racist ng mga tao. Basta't kalaban natin noon ang Japanese government, lahat ng Japanese, kahit anti-war... kalaban.

Basta't kalaban natin ngayon ang Chinese government... lahat ng Chinese daw, masama. Ubusan kuno ng lahi.

We should learn a different lesson from history. The lesson being: No god, no religion, no political ideology and no country is worth more than a human life.

Yun lang.
