Week 11 Reflections

after reading about this it was very crazy and sad in other words. How they were treating people was crazy man and so unfair. the way the treated the Japanese really stood out to me. it’s said to be over 30 year that this went on. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, the hungry miners, longshoremen and fisherman of the frontier town piled into the greasy spoon. tanaka and others was incarcerated for several months and then sent off to internment camps that were all over the country. There were 120,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans detained in World War II internment camps. This wasn't right at all. they are humans to and should be treated as so just because they were Japanese doesn’t mean anything. The U.S. internment camps had so many people in them and the poor living conditions was unbearable. he is living conditions of Japanese American internment camps were very hard for the Japanese because of housing, food, and the daily experiences Japanese went through. they treated them as if they were so different from other just because of their ethnicity. Tanaka and many others were held at their will at the short lived-camps. when they had to leave, they home they only had 2 days and they could only take a few things. there were so many families that were taken away from each other and people lives were just messed up. I couldn’t imagine just getting taken away from my family for nothing. This made it hard for Asian to live in America. the racism the Japanese faced in America still goes onto today and its sad because many Americans still have that mind set. Many Japanese people came to America for the freedom and a better living for themselves and kids. then you think to yourself is better because they still are looked at is as if their nobodies.

  1. I like how you broke down the internment camps and really focused on how the Japanese people were treated. They had limited time to go and get some of their belongings before being locked in a cage basically and forced to rely on the American government for survival. You had a lot of nice thoughts, and accurately portrayed them here, nice post.

  2. Hey Justin! This was a great post to read. It had a very somber tone to it but I was still drawn to your whole reflection. It was communicated precisely and you made sure to get straight to the point about World War II. What also caught my attention in your post was the focus put into the brutal nature of the internment camps and how the Japanese Americans were treated even after the end of WWII.

  3. I enjoyed reading you put yourself in the shoes of the Japanese Americans that were forced into concentration camps. I too always put myself in the victims shoes to see things from a different perspective.
