The dynamics of the US were much different back around WWII times. Even before Pearl Harbor, average American views toward the Japanese weren't very comparable to anything today.
Just look at how controversial Guantanomo Bay is, and then consider that those are a few hundred foreign born prisoners said to be suspected of being terrorists. Imagine how much more controversial it would be if instead the prisoners were US citizens from the Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, or whatever.
Homosexuals, Muslims, and atheists are three groups that are currently somewhat looked down upon in the US, according to polls, but overall they are still more integrated and accepted than the Japanese and others used to be.
Some people believe Dick Cheney to be a member of the Illuminati or whatever. Well, his daughter is lesbian, he has Muslim "friends" from the oil industry (some who might live and work in the US), and I'm sure he has had a few atheist acquaintances.
If we looked closely at Obama and congress, we would find many similar and closer connections such as these to a diverse range of groups. It wasn't like this with FDR and congress in relation to Japanese Americans.
So you've somewhat affirmed how realistic this is by referencing Guatanomo Bay. Controversial, sure. Reality, yes.
And yeah, I'm amiable to Flaw3d in public and on Skype, but I still hate his messican ass, just because he wears these:
You ultimately have said nothing but dismiss the present by using the very real internment of US Citizens in the past as a way of saying it won't happen again. And then alluded to people's public masks as if they truly give any insight into their internal worldviews and conditions.
While you make solid points about people's feelings towards groups like Muslims (which I'm not sure you are accurate on there), homosexuals, coners, and atheists, we know that they aren't the targets of this. You were a lot closer when you started talking about Tea Parties and Occupy movements. We talmbout political dissidents, not faggots and heathens.
