Full historical facts about the internment.... other racial and ethnic groups such as Italian Americans were relocated. At that time in US history, Italians had not been racialized and were viewed as non-white.
Many were from the SF Bay Area, including relatives and family friends of mine. ALL WERE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY!

The Enemy Alien Acts as well as Chinese Exclusionary Laws in the US are birds of a feather... along with post-Civil War Jim Crowe legislation were quite racist! There are other examples of these kinds of legislation in our history that are eerily like the AZ law. Shall we go over the Native American experience? Or is that perspective as lost as their forgotten and unmarked graves behind almost every single California Mission as it is left out of CA history books for students? Gee, it seems Texas has this idea in mind....

Why do you think that Holocaust survivors as well as decedents of Black Slavery cry- We must never forget!??? I would settle for more factual historical research and understanding….
