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

So now you’re getting into the mud about certain lives being worth more than others. Fact is, lives were saved. Some were lost, you’re never gonna balance it out like a checkbook. Enough with your pathetic angry act dude it gets nothing done

Cool so why don't YOU step up, then Asians have been stepping up for white people since we got here, why don't you take a turn at it and let us be the ones being dicks demanding people prove their loyalty for a change

I’m not demanding anything. But if you’re feeling powerless, being helpful is more edifying than being angry. Love > hate.

Take 30 minutes and learn about why your unfocused anger is so ineffectualhttps://youtu.be/RiXPsHe8UkI

So why didn't WW2 end all racism against Asians if that's the way racism is defeated?

Racism against Asians has certainly improved since then, hasn’t it?

...did you just insist racism against Asian people has gotten better in the same week two children under ten were murdered for being Asian in public where a scared racist could reach them? That's the hill you want to die on, 'they *only* killed two little kids this week?'

In general, it has. You’re just cherry picking. Racism against Asians was far more commonplace in the 40s and 50s and to say otherwise is an insult to the prejudice they endured. If you don’t see that you’re objectively stupid.

Yeah and do you think that happened because the Asians in the 40s hadn't worked hard enough or "stepped up" enough to have EARNED tolerance? Or is it more likely to be because people accumulated enough clout to DEMAND tolerance

So are you suggesting if all the Japanese Americans remained interned and never enlisted, they’d be better off? Kind of a pointless hypothetical speculation. But everything you’ve been tweeting is kinda pointless isn’t it
