Japanese Internment
The Japanese internment of Japanese Americans was completely unfair to many. This was unfair innocent people were discriminated for something they had nothing to do with. “The forced removal and internment of more than 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast of the United States during World War II constitutes a dark chapter in American history.” This is said in the “Historic Perspective” article (page 1 paragraph 1). This is the true because; this dark chapter is about how people who were innocent were accused of being a threat. With all the events happening during World War II, this event was another part of this “dark time”. This internment only happened due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Thesis Statement
I believe that it was wrong that Japanese Americans were forced to leave the life they were accustomed to.Also,as one can see, the Japanese-American Internment was completely biased to the massive majority of the Japanese people who were innocent and victimized by discrimination and scapegoating.
The Cruelty
This shows how there were many hurtful things being said about and to Japanese and this raised the paranoia and hurtful words. Like in the picture there were signs that told Japanese to stay out because only the Caucasians were the ones who populated the area. This was just worse because this was a form of discrimination that was going on during the tragedy of Pearl Harbor. With the commotion going on, life became harder for the Japanese Americans and it got worse once the were put into camps.
