Michael Clark: Japanese immigrants ran some very fine farms, which their neighbors wanted for themselves.

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

Here are Qs for those who were unaware. Why were Japanese Americans sent to camps and German Americans were not? Also, why was the Supreme Commander of all Allied forces a German-American while no AJA was allowed to serve until almost the end of the war, even then in segregated units?

Real estate and racism. Yes, it was mostly a land grab.

It's always about the real estate.

Indeed.
