Nor are you historically correct. There are no recorded incidents of US
citizens of Japanese descent betraying this country during World War II. 
Zero. Zip. None. The *only* basis for placing people in the WWII internment 
camps was their ethnicity.

So you think we should follow that lead? Rather than seeking to understand
people who are different from us, and trying to distinguish which of them
are seeking to harm us, we should just lock 'em all up?

You don't know how much I wanted to get into this discussion, but it really
is off-topic.  CLUE needs to have a clue-ot list where discussions like
this can move.
