I’m not defending anyone except the Japanese Americans in the 442nd who selflessly volunteered when they had no obligation to. You’re having a tantrum and confusing me with a racist. But you check mark folk thrive on drama so obviously you manufacture it. Simmer down.

Yes, it's what Yang is advocating for, and the precedent for it demonstrates that it's a waste of time

Those whose lives were saved by the 442nd would disagree, as would their hundreds of descendants.

The descendants of the 800 Japanese-Americans who died to save those 200 white Americans, of course, do not exist and therefore cannot give their opinion on it matter

Lol you're not even trying to argue that the exploitation was good FOR THEM You're saying that OTHER PEOPLE will benefit from Asians hustling hard to prove the authenticity of our Americanness to people who hate us That our fear and insecurity is a great resource
