I think you missed the point about Japanese American internment.

I didn't miss the point, I was replying to the comment above of:

"Definitely worth preserving so that people are aware it happened and hopefully prevent it from happening again in the future."

I think it should be preserved as a reminder to all, and I am not necessarily against this happening again in the future and clearly gave a modern day example of The Chinese Communist Party as an enemy of nations and how something like this could potentially happen again.

You've posted a video of a Chinese restaurant whose management is at the very least xenophobic, or maybe racist. (Assuming the video is accurate.)

And I frown on that, for sure.

But that's light-years away from the US government incarcerating all Americans with Chinese heritage simply because of that heritage.

You're right that it could happen again.

But it would be unConstitutional and racist AF. And that's not the kind of America I want to see. Frankly, it's not the kind of America you should want to see, either. We're supposed to be better than that.

We must remain vigilant against this weakness.
