Japanese Americans - WWII

The other day, I watched a documentary about Japanese Americans being held in relocation/internment camps during the WWII era.
And this brought up the entire racial and undemocratic values in controversey.
1) Because of their ethnic background, skin colors, Japanese were not treated as
Americans. They were the outsiders.
2) When they were taken away, their Constitutional rights were taken and were not
given due process.
This shows the unfair treatment towards them during this tragic time.
Families were torn apart, those who worked hard basically lost all that they had.
The interesting part about this documentary was that there were two camps that
were created in Arksansas, in unwanted dump/wasteland.
Arkansas during that time was very segregated between whites and black. Then, to
have a new population come in, the people who lived their felt inferior and scared.
However, because the Japanese Americans worked hard in camp, they became their
own community and teachers began to go to the camps to teach, they began making
money from lumbar/labor. The white and black people who lived their began to get
very jealous of the special treatment they had. One lady recalled "here we were poor
and did not have much good food to eat. Then the Japanese had ham. We never got
to eat ham even on special occasions. They took away our teachers, our jobs." Then
there was a Japanese American man who said that he got on the bus and didn't know
where to sit. He sat in the back where it was labled "colored people" but the bus driver
told him to sit in the front and that the back was only for "black" people. His eyes teared
up and it made me feel so sad.
The outrageous part that really ticked me off was that the government had the audacity
to ask them to enlist themselves in the army/war to prove their loyalty as Americans.
And to get out of camp, they had to complete a questionnaire that asked whether or
not they believe or show respect toward their own ethnic emperors/powers in Japan.

So, in a so called "democratic society" democracy really was not practiced for the Japanese
Americans.
