Why does a low quality 15 second clip of a song cost $2.99 when a higher quality version of the entire song costs $0.99?
^Actually asians had by far the most violent slavery in US history.
The blacks and the indians ain't got shit on what we did to the japanese/japanese looking (asians) americans during WWII. We basically put our own american citizens in concentration camps where they got tortured and worked to death if they didn't die first of starvation and diseases/guard brutality. You don't see survivor books about it like the holocaust because very few made it through. It was so bad we don't even teach it in schools or talk about it much. Yet it was very real.
I don't mean to bring the thread down. I just wanted to correct ya there.

Can you actually provide a link that gives any support at all to this claim, because the one you provided above completely contradicts the statement that 'very few made it through'.
To compare this to the deliberate extermination of 6 million people is ludicrous.
Your link also lists a number books, movies and documentaries about what happened.
Not to say no wrong was done, but I really don't understand this bizarre exaggeration and hyperbole, this self-loathing self-flagellating projecting of guilt onto your own culture and country. What is the agenda here exactly?
If you have other evidence that disputes what wikipedia says, please provide it. Personally I like learning about history and open to whatever facts you can back up.

To compare hundreds of years of slavery, let alone, to this present day, more disregard for African-Americans than any other minority group, to the Japanese interment camps is a long stretch.
HAHAHAHA!
Why don't car makers make left oriented pedals for left handed/footed people?
lol
What do you think a concentration camp is?
I didn't say the japanese had it worse than the jews. I don't think anyone in history had it worse than the jews. But I also didn't misuse the term.
I'm not going to hijack this thread. Make a new thread on why you think black slavery was worse and I'll respond with a bunch of information. I can't argue with 400 years but slaves back then were a luxury item or an important piece of production equipment. Despite what you see in the movies many were well taken care of in the slave sense.
This thread reminded me of a book I read back when I worked in Washington, D.C.: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Unjust-Enrichment-Companies-Fortunes-American/dp/0811718441"]Amazon.com: Unjust Enrichment: How Japan's Companies Built Postwar Fortunes Using American Pows (9780811718448): Linda…[/ame] (Unjust Enrichment: How Japan's Companies Built Postwar Fortunes Using American POWs)
Americans used as slave labor for Japanese companies for years during WWII, in real shitty conditions, too.
