Answering "No-No" on the So-Called "Loyalty Questionnaire - Yukio Kawaratani

[@abbieamavi]

so sad, so sad to think a country that was founded on the beliefs in every man's rights to freedom would initiate this out of pure fear and racism. Great interview, thanks for uploading!

You're 100% right.

White men only, and only those of means.

Why would you risk your life and leave your family behind if you're being abused and basically forced?

[@felixmadison5736]

Another sad chapter in the history of our great country.

The Japanese Army unit sent to Italy was the most decorated in all WW 2. They earned their US citizenship & freedom.

[@belford48]

Many of the Japanese-Americans were already US citizens. Collectively they lost $400 million in property. Those fighting in WW2 did so while their families were imprisoned behind barbed wire and living in difficult conditions. I cannot imagine how it would have felt serving under those conditions.

What would have been the fate of those that were interred (wrongfully) if they had been left in there homes ? Would there have been retaliation against them ?

[@lolkayleen2757]

damn. just damn, that's all.

[@carolecarr5210]

Was your father upset at what Japan did? Actually the camps probably saved your lives from vigilante justice, would've probably happened. Not giving back your property was dead wrong.

This Japanes people living in America?

Wish he had the option of saying "F*** Hirohito. If you're gonna draft me, then do it, and I'll serve. My dad wants his farm back." instead of "yes yes" or "no no".
