ACTUALLY, IT INCLUDED INUITS: THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
(NATIVES) WHO LIVED IN ALASKA......IN ADDITION TO JAPANESE AMERICANS, GERMAN AMERICANS, ITALIAN AMERICANS IN ADDITION TO LEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM THOSE COUNTRIES. AND OH, BY-THE-WAY, THE TERM "ORIENTAL" IS A MISNOMER. THOSE INDIVIDUALS FROM ASIA, AND THEIR ANCESTORS, ARE NOW REFERRED TO AS "ASIANS".
Mistakes that the American Government (including Presidents) that happened 70 years ago and are totally in the light of day suggest strongly that the history of America, sometimes not the most honorable, should be studied so that similar mistakes do not happen again. Asserting today's blame for yesteryears missteps is akin to being uneducated, and utterly idiotic.
