Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2?

Less likely than EVERYONE who looks Asian ending up in camps.
Japanese people aren’t Asian, but Indian (from India) people are. There’s no underlying logic, it’s just hate.
Were you homeschooled by a pigeon?
In Britain “Asian” means you’re from India, Bangladesh or Pakistan. Not from Japan etc. Then you’re from the Far East.
Okay, but what if you, you know, like, ask people from Asia what “Asian” means?
If Japan isn’t part of the Asian continent what continent is it part of? 🤨
The continent of Japania?
/jk
India is also in Asia
Maybe they’re counting Japanese people as Pacific Islanders? Which imo seems more racist somehow.
Well I guess you could argue that it is a bunch of islands in the pacific
Technically true, though. The connotation paints a wildly incorrect picture, but Japan does consist of islands in the pacific…
You’re British, yes? Ignore the US centric douche canoes.
