During WW2, the US government put Japanese people who were born in the US into concentration camps. So your statement is false.

While you're not incorrect that happened and it's not something we should forget, you also can't deny the 80 years of culture shift that have happened since then.

History repeats. We are on the verge of WW3. If you care to look, you can see the signs already. Human nature never changes. Fundamentally, nothing has changed in 80 years. You are a linear thinker, you should try and learn about the cyclical nature of the world.

That's false. You should pay attention to current events.

And in 1587 Japan expelled 200,000 Christians, let's go all the way back to "left neutrino pushed right neutrino first during Big Bang"? :D

People like you never learn from history, that's why history repeats. You can learn a lot by looking at what happened during Ancient Roman times. Nothing has changed in 2000 years.

while mstaoru is over-generalizing[1], North America has always been much more of a melting pot compared to some East Asia countries, despite the right wing ideology shift in recent times.

also you are being hostile. Everyone knows about the Japanese internment camp - we are just not sure where it fits in this discourse. Might as well just say 'tribalism is part of us. no need to discuss further. ignore all progress.'

[1] in taiwan, singapore, malaysia and etc, while they might refer to western folks as laowai or angmoh, there's usually little negative connotation attached to it.

Right, I didn't say any of this carries negative connotations. Just... not accepting you as a part of their society I guess?

WW2 ended 81 years ago.

History repeats, because people like you don't learn anything about history
