Ever been out to Manzanar? Most of the buildings are gone but as I 
walked back to the visitors center from the memorial in the dusk, I 
thought I heard a ghost or two.

I come from the other side of the country and most of my family were of 
German heritage. There was a half-hearted attempt to change German place 
names, and German Shepherds and Dachshunds got different titles but 
there was no attempt to intern American citizens of German extraction. 
Of course, that would have been about 25% of the country.

It was a lot easier to demonize the Japanese. My brother was a Marine 
aviator in the Pacific so I was brought up to avoid any Japanese 
products. About 40 years later he showed up in his motorhome with a 
Toyota Tercel in tow, saying "I never thought I would do it..."

Now it's the Russians that are bad, bad, bad.
