Hello lads,

I'm working on a project and I'm studying about racism towards Japanese (and racism from Japanese people). I've found some websites claiming there were some concentration camps in the US for Japanese immigrants, and I'd like to know how reliable these sources are. Also, I'd like to know what the situation currently is in North America, Europe and, if possible, Japan, as I'm far from all of you.

Here are the websites I found:

• http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/po...haiku/haiku.htm
  
• http://academic.udayton.edu/race/02rights/intern01.htm
  
• Results from google

We had internment camps for our japanese during WWII at Manzanar, its true.

If you want some good sources about racism from Japanese people, you could probably google some good links with respect to Japanese racism towards the Chinese or Koreans. Try the "rape of Nanking". As for the US internment camps, I believe there was a supreme court decision with respect to those camps that was rather interesting. I can try looking for it later. They're not concentration camps in the German sense heh, but essentially Japanese-Americans were interned, their property taken, etc. Many were freed by voluntarily joining the US armed forces. I believe there were reparations following the war during the reconciliation period.

I've checked it already, and found a lot of things about the things Japan did before (and during) WWII and the prejudice towards foreigners in contemporary Japan, including stories from people I actually met.

I wasn't expecting Nazi concentration camps, don't worry I just wanted to know more about it - if you could tell me what the good sources are (it's quite hard for an outsider to tell when something is sensationalist unless it's blatantly obvious)

Manzanar? I'll look it up, thank you

There's actually a part of the Holocaust museum devoted towards the Japanese internment camps ... although DC may be slightly out of your reach .


PBS is always a good source that documents the "human" perspective through several documentaries:

The University of Washington has a lot of archived sources:

This is a good source:

It's meticulously sourced.

Opinion from those who disagree with reparations:

You might want to do more research on the anti-reparation folks as well as seeing if you can find the actual findings of the Congressional Wartime Relocation Commission.

Yup its true that they existed. (A survivior, I know, is now Congressman Mike Honda D-California)

Close to where I used to live, there is a racetrack where they were penned in the horse stables, prior to being shipped to the camps across the West. I think there were some in california, idaho, andf nevada.

You can also do searches on the baseball leagues that were created in the internment camps. Apperently some of those teams were really good and you might some information on them. There might also be information on art produced in the camps. Good luck.

Rascism towards japanese? oh my god!

Japanese are the only rascist people left on earth.

The Germans have apoligized to Canadian POW's but the Japanese refuse to.

Germany is made to fell ashamed of themselves, while the japanese don't give a sh*t about the slaughter they commited.

And for some reason they get away with it. Hmmm I wonder if it has anything to do with jews?

I know that it happened here in Canada too.

There's lots on Google though...

Good luck with your project Lira

Thanks for everything, occrider, and thanks for the extra bit of info, Spacey Orange

By the way, UrbanMessiah, claming the Japanese are the only racist people left on Earth is not only a inaccurate generalisation but it's also a very naïve thing to say.

edit: Thanks to you too, Fir3start3r, I didn't know there were some of these in Canada as well

Unless you're Japanese you just proved yourself wrong.

That was the dumbest post of the day. I didn't even laugh.

Both the US and Canada had internnment camps for Japanese, and even some for Germans and Italians. The Japanese in Canada were compensated in the 80's, the Italians never were.

The Soviets killed hundreds of thousands of Germans in concentration camps as well.
