On Decoration Day/Veteran's Day -

Well, now that's straight up bullshit.  Once again, I'm confounded by my fellow pale-faced douchebags and the sheer gaul they have in trying to steer universal memorials into white discrimination territory.

I suppose this is the best place to drop this anecdote. One time on reddit, someone said we need FDR style policies again and I got heavily downvoted for saying "Oh no, they're sending us japs back to the camps again! 😱"

You have every right to say that, too.

Eh, it was a poorly placed joke. Would have worked in a circle jerk subreddit, but whatever.

FDR is such a touchy president for me. He would easily be considered one of the best if not for the camps. I know Japan was evil as shit, but still.

True, I agree such an orders was still hypocritical. Don't get me started about the British in the Boer Wars.   Look it up

He was a great president that did an awful, unforgivable thing.  In the macrocosm, war typically amplifies incorrect difficult decisions into tragedies, but in the microcosm, it’s hard not to see the latent racism that the majority of Americans held toward all Asians generically.

Why don't you tell me what to look up? I know little about the Boer wars, have heard of it though. What's the hypocrisy?

@Insipid The British were the first to use concentration camps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War_concentration_camps is not a pretty fact, but use anglo-saxs/anglo-normans are historically racist as fuck. As someone primarily with English ancestry, it's not a good thing.  American culture carried that forward.  I mean, look at history, the Irish were mistreated by the English, so were the Welsh and Scottish. To point there languages were almost died out.    look british(English) imperialism started way before the British Empire

The British were not the first to use concentrations camps. Also, nazism was greatly influenced by the way Americans treated black people and Native Americans.

I don't want to "well ackshually" the half Japanese guy, but the evilness of Japan has nothing to do with Japanese Americans.

It's more like Hitler explicitly modeled much of his state sponsored segregation and, later, his pogroms on a combination of Reconstruction era Jim Crow and western expansion Native American policies (for the concentration camps and population relocation).  The Eugenics movement was an ardently racist and niche offshoot of Jim Crow that, while disturbing, was generally ineffective in offering a realistic scientific justification for white supremacy.  How much Hitler gleaned from that is debatable.

On the subject of concentration camps... that's a distinctly New World creation.  The Spaniards, Portuguese, English, and to a limited extent French all incorporated some form of it as they colonized the Americas.  These policies matriculated into the independent countries built on those colonies and continued in some form well into the 1910's.  While the idea of sectioned neighborhoods for Jews existed well before Hitler and throughout Europe (see the namesake Ghetto in Rome), the development of the remote camp and forced migrations that populated them owe immeasurably to the work of pre and post Civil War US Federal policies.

Anglo-saxons are not interchangeable with “Caucasian” or “White.”

You’re missing the point.  It’s perceived whiteness that delineates racial divides, just as it was perceive Germanness that separates so called Aryan elites from the undesirables.
