Long story short, I don't think 鬼畜米 is as bad of a tattoo as some of the ones I've seen, I think Japanese people would think it was more of a mocking gesture than anything since tattoos are seen a taboo in japan and seen as a 'trashy' or 'low-life' thing to have.

[@icollectstories5702]

@@eeliejun Things were different in Hawaii, due to advance preparation and the fact that Japanese Americans made up a large proportion of the population. A lot of Japanese citizens were expelled; some leaders such as priests were imprisoned. Similarly to the West Coast, the population was prepared for another attack and any use of the Japanese language was suspicious. The Japanese Americans in the US military either volunteered or were conscripted, were sent to where the army wanted them, and served with honor and sacrifice. Senator Inouye had an interesting story about boot camp. The Hawaiians did not know about the mainland internment camps until they were shown the Rohwer camp; this shocked them, and led them to respect the hearts of the mainlanders. I feel the need to point out that the internees were forced to fill out a loyalty questionnaire, one question of which asked whether you would do as ordered while in the military, knowing that the army guards surrounding the camp faced inwards. If you answered "No," you were sent to Tule Lake for the rest of the war.
