    Everybody talks about Hitlers camps, nobody talks about America doing the EXACT SAME THING, ROUGHLY AT THE SAME TIME!!!

    Not that the internment camps were or are defensible, but we weren’t gasing Japanese Americans or driving them out by the truck/trainload and shooting them in the woods.

    Yes, some died in the camps- roughly 1,600, but none through and intentional and concerted effort to exterminate an entire race, with the number of Jews dying in nazis germany roughly 6,000,000.

    You don’t need to be hyperbolic. The internment camps were bad enough on their own; but they were not the same as the holocaust.
