It’s legitimate to criticize the policies and the people who implemented them for implementing them. As Ronald Reagan agreed and Carter’s commission found, internment was motivated by racism and was not a response to a legitimate national security threat. Apparently, this has somehow become controversial to say.
I think you’d have a really hard time finding someone on Lemmy genuinely trying to argue Japanese internment was a good thing, there’s no need to immediately jump to the conclusion that people are saying that especially if it makes way more sense that they were saying something else.
I said that criticizing Japanese internment was legitimate, and they replied, “No it isn’t.” How else am I possibly supposed to interpret that?
By asking for clarification instead of jumping to some inflammatory assumptions. I was civil to you, and made no accusations against your character. Yet you were very quick to attack my character. Would you please refrain from such incivility in the future?
