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

But they were Americans - why would it have been OK for them to stay Stateside while other Americans fought?

But it was an American’s duty to enlist then. By not enlisting they’d be conceding that they are not Americans. That’s partly why some of them DID enlist. Because despite the internment, they felt they were Americans.

It's not an American's duty to do jack shit if the American government turns against you and violates your rights first by imprisoning you without a trial

That’s up to the American. Some of them chose to enlist. You wouldn’t have. Doesn’t make you better than them or some Spartacus figure lol

Why don't you go tell that to the Heart Mountain draft resisters' faces then, or to everyone who burned their draft cards for Vietnam Go tell Muhammad Ali he didn't understand what productive resistance meant
