History question, Why were the Japanese placed in camps during WW2?

[worldscolide]

Before you report this question, this is not some kind of idiotic racist thing. I personally can't understand the logic. They were citizens, We essentially violated their rights doing that. I can't find a good reason why Wilson signed executive order 9066. The only thing that comes up is fear of disloyalty and terrorism.

If it were me that did it, the only reason i could think of, would be to protect them from assholes that would harm them, not out of some risk or disloyalty. But still i would never, ever even consider doing something like that.

Basically when we did that, we in some small ways became like Hitler when he sent the Jews to concentration camps. While not as bad, its still evil as fuck, and something i hope my country isn't stupid enough to ever repeat.

It was FDR not Wilson that decided to put the Japanese in Camps. Why wouldn't you believe that when the same FDR spent his unprecedented 4 terms trashing the Constitutions, abusing his power to have his way?

FDR clearly didn't care at all about limits on power, or rules or he wouldn't have cheated his own people, tried to pack the court, run for a 3rd term for the first time in history, or contenue his desasterous economic policy even after he knew it was the problem.

We never really recovered from the great depression until world war 2 and FDR died in office. After which his successor started breaking down the repressive regulations, and trade limitations that prevented recovery.

@worldscolide
FDR is an example of a man who is very good at politics (with Conman skills) but incompetent at the technical task of actually governing. This makes him an example of why we have or rather had constitutions in the first place.

The virtue of democracy is we can get rid of people who are bad at both, and eventually get tired of the lies of people who are simply bad at one like FDR.

WW2 was a pivotal point in history. The allies had to win and had to do everything ti insure that happened. There were some things that were too extreme like detonating a. Couple of thermonuclear bombs on a civilian population. Incarceration Japanese American citizens was another thing that may have been a mistake
