Jap-Am, short for "Japanese-Americans". I don't know about you, but I
don't like typing any more than I have to,

So, like me, your posts are very brief. :-)

Correction, they were NOT prison camps.

When you are confined to a fenced area, housed in a barracks, not allowed to
come and go at your own free will, subject to being shot from a guard tower if
you try to escape, and your life is regimented 24/7, what would you call that,
a resort?

But once again, it was not prison, and they were not criminals.

We agree on one thing: they were not criminals.

The Japanese lost houses, farms, businesses, etc to
repossession and public auction.

THAT was wrong. It's not like they asked to become delinquent.

Ah, but if you were the landlord, the mortgage holder, etc.....should *you* be
economically punished because "you can't trust them sneaky, slanty-eyed Japs"?

The only way to avoid this very wrong situaiton would have been not hauling the
Japanese off to prison camp in the first place.
