Then Came the War

So another random turning of the pages in my book landed me on page 407 with an article named 'Then came the war', a story about the discrimination of Japanese Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was interesting to read about it from the viewpoint of someone who went through it, before this I've only heard about the Japanese concentration camps briefly in history class. Even the author points out that these camps weren't comparable to the death camps in Europe but still horrible in my opinion because they were on our homeland our great country was the creator of these camps, obviously a dark spot in our history, and probably a reason why I didn't learn about it much in school.
I think it's pretty stupid what this girl and all the other Japanese American people had to go through when they did nothing wrong. She couldn't hold jobs for more than a day because someone would have a problem with her being Japanese. This is another good example of how stupid racism is and it's good because it's not as serious as some other incidents but more serious than others, and its a different side of the story. Most of the stories you hear are about black people being discriminated against but this gave you a different account of the harshness of racism and it makes you think how can someone be this stupid to discriminate someone due to the ethnicity.
