If a war breaks out between US and China, the 5 millions Chinese will face the same fates as the Japanese Americans during WWII.

If a war breaks out between US and China, the 5 millions Chinese will face the same fates as the Japanese Americans during WWII. 如果美國與中國之間爆發戰爭,那五百萬美國華人將會面臨與二戰期間日裔美國人相同的命運。

二戰期間在加州監禁日裔美國人的決定,並非基於對個人的懷疑,而是基於種族與地理,由戰時恐慌與種族主義共同驅使。

誰被送進集中營:嚴格基於種族與血統 – 任何具有日本血統的人都是目標,無論其公民身份為何(約三分之二是美國公民)。加州將此定義為具有十六分之一或更多日本血統,凡是「擁有一滴日本血液」的人都符合資格。

他們失去了一切:銀行帳戶、房屋、農場、全部生意, 投資。戰後他們一無所有!

The decision to incarcerate Japanese Americans in California during WWII was not based on individual suspicion, but on race and geography, driven by a combination of wartime hysteria & racism.

Who was sent to the camps: Strictly Based on Race & Ancestry: Anyone with Japanese ancestry was targeted, regardless of citizenship (about 2/3 were U.S. citizens). California defined this as having 1/16th or more Japanese lineage, anyone with “one drop of Japanese blood” qualified.

They lost everything: bank accounts, homes, all businesses, farms, investments. After the war they had nothing!
