Talk:Internment of Japanese Americans/Archive 7

message: Can somebody get some more info on that or get a more concentrated section about that, I know there were many German and Italian peoples involved in internment camps.
:Those internments would probably be better handled in a separate article. -Will Beback 04:20, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: More about Ralph Carr should be added. The fact that he defied interring and allowed 20% of the Japanese being moved to be taken to Colorado (freely) needs to be added. At least a paragraph. --Plankton5005 07:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There were a few items removed by 69.237.203.77 on 2007-01-18 that did not get restored that I added back. As a check see the different between my last edit & the one on 2007-01-17 14:58 by FrancoGG, then compare revert of 69.237.203.77 by Ishu on 18 January 2007-01-18 03:35 with the same edit by FrancoGG. It looks like the revert of 69.237.203.77 may have only gone one edit back when it should have gone back two. Thanks -- 12.106.111.10 00:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

World War 2 and the Life of Japanese-Americans
	There are many fears and prejudices in the world: World War 2, for example. The Japanese-Americans faced many hardships, yet they remained loyal to us. Today, I will try to find out why. 
Since the bombing of Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941, America has been changed forever. During this time, suspicions arose that anyone of Japanese descent-even the children-were spies.
The following articles are about Miss Clara Estelle Breed. She was a children’s librarian and opposed to the thought of sending children to concentration camps. Miss Breed sent many letters to the children, though only one was found intact. She kept over 250 of the children’s letters intact. In some letters, high school girls thought that they were being of use to the government. In others, they wrote, “If we were put here for our protection, why are the guns pointed inward instead of outward?” Another says, “I’m tired of Japan, mother. Let’s go back home to America.” The letters often described what life was like in internment camps.
The houses in the internment camps weren’t substandard. They consisted of four walls, a flat, tin roof, a door, and maybe a floorboard. Their only furniture was what they could make and/or salvage from a woodpile.
The public facilities were better. They at least had a proper structure. The only races they saw besides the guards were Japanese-Americans and Caucasians. 
Maybe they thought it was their duty, maybe it was because of the $20,000 after the war. Who’s to say? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.25.242.151 (talk • contribs) 04:36, 16 February 2007
:Some points to consider.  First, the Japanese Americans were mostly Americans of Japanese ancestry.  They were some of the "us" that they remained loyal to.  Second, there were a number of non-Nikkei in the camps, mostly men and women who were married to Japanese Americans.  Many of these were Hispanic, others were Asian, Polynesian or African-Americans.  I don't understand your conclusion, but I'd point out that the $20,000 didn't come for over 50 years after the Internment began.  68.178.65.194 22:43, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
