It’s amazing how even veteran posters respond to him seriously.

There were Japanese-Americans betraying the US and pledging allegiance to Japan.
Is this a crime?

Yes, but that wasn’t my point. The guy implied that there wasn’t a difference between the camps in Europe and the Japanese camps in the US.
That is laughable.

You're asking if aiding a country we are at war with is a crime?

It was fricked up but I totally understand why they did it. Japanese are a different breed, and I could see a lot of them giving their loyalty to god emperor above any newfound loyalty to the United States considering most were probably still 1st generation back then.

A concentration camp is a place where a group of people are imprisoned for various reasons, like their ethnicity or political beliefs.
What OP describes fits in the definition of a concentration camp
Exactly.
The fact that there were far worse concentration camps doesn't change the definition.

Reading comprehension bro.
I'm asking if pledging allegiance to Japan was a crime.

Good time to note that the 442nd Infantry Regiment, composed almost entirely of Japanese-Americans, would go on to receive 21 Medals of Honor, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, 560 Silver Stars, nearly 9,500 Purple Hearts, and on and on and on.

No shite? Didn’t know that.
Still man, Japanese weren’t in the same category as Italian or German immigrants back then. They are one of the most unique cultures in the world, and at the time still believed their emperor was descended directly from the gods. The echoes of the samurai culture were still strong back then.

Internment camps and it was nothing like the holocausf.
Still wrong, but there is a huge difference

Just reality back then. Couldn't be trusted, people were honestly ignorant, but honest.
One hundred times better than what happened to Americans in Jap concentration camps.

They were concentration camps. Just because there weren't executions like in Europe doesn't change that.

I love that you think I didn't comprehend you. You conveniently ignored the betrayed the US that was also part of that quote. This lame shtick you have of pretending to be moderate just to argue is fricking tiring

Actually, about 60% of Japanese Americans in the US at the time were citizens and 2nd generation or more Americans.

Speaking of not comprehending.

No one is arguing the definition of the word.

What were they doing, en masse, to betray the US?
His post is clearly in support of the decision. Surely he understands the government came back and found little evidence of a security risk and blamed the entite order on racism, no?
Posted on 2/19/19 at 7:21 am to slackster
So 40% were 1st generation?

None of this is relevant to your stupid question. Don't try to backpedal.
