Japanese Internment Camps
During WW2 the Japanese-Americans were taken and put into camps to "ensure safety." The mind-set was that they attacked once...the citizens have the potential and ties to attack as well. It is the same with the Muslim-Americans since 9/11. I think America was justified in fearing the potential of a Japanese person but I think they took it way too far as to put them in camps. I think what they needed to realize is there are extremists in every religion and culture and just because some want to attack doesn't mean everyone does. I think it was taken way too far to drag these people out of their homes and place them in remote camps. I also think it's really ironic that America was fighting against the Germans who would round up people and throw them in death camps, but we felt the need to go ahead and throw these people in our camps.
