For YOUR "edification" ...
the U.S. was engaged in fighting the Japanese ...
... BEFORE doing any shooting at Germany.
Does WIKI tell you that a Democratic President of the United States started our involvement in S.E. Asia ... also?
I was trying to keep the thread on topic ... China.

Reuben James DD245 was torpedoed and sunk on 31 October 1941 by a German U-boat. Several U.S. freighters had already been sunk by U-boats before October.
Here's some more "edification" for you, LL. The "Europe First" war effort began before Pearl Harbor or Japanese internment. This is the timeline:
1. In the 29 March 1941 report of the ABC-1 conference, the Americans and British agreed that their strategic objectives were: (1) "The early defeat of Germany as the predominant member of the Axis with the principal military effort of the United States being exerted in the Atlantic and European area;" and (2) A strategic defensive in the Far East.

2. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941.
3. Hitler declared war on the U.S. on 11 December 1941.
4. FDR signed Executive Order 9066 on 19 February 1942.
BTW, here are some good books that reaffirm the Wiki entries, LL. You might want to brush up on your history.

Blather all you want, vulgarian.
A simple Internet search (Do you know any other kind) will reveal that racially, Asians are fundamentally the same ... Mongoloid. Ethnically and nationally they vary greatly.
Therefore Japanese American interment was based on national descent. Otherwise Chinese. Koreans, Mongolians, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Tibetans, etc., in America would have rounded up. Kinda like The Nazis did with their hair and eye charts.
Once again, you're wrong, but would prefer to hysterically shriek filthy and ethnically based epithets at me than debate like a grown up.
It wouldn't be the first time. This week.

PS -- you quoted Wikipedia. I quoted Wikipedia. Who's wrong?

It's obvious you are too fucking ignorant to use a computer, you animated piece of piss and shit. A simple search of the internet will provide article after article categorizing Japanese internment during WWII as elemental "racism", and your attempts to prove otherwise are nothing but piss and shit, just like you, Assup the jackass.
'[T]he causes for this unprecedented action [Japanese internment] in American history, according to the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, "were motivated largely by racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and a failure of political leadership."'
http://www.pbs.org/childofcamp/history/index.html
‘[T]he federal Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians (CWRIC) was established by Congress in 1980 to "review the facts and circumstances surrounding Executive Order 9066, issued in February 19, 1942, and the impact of such Executive Order on American citizens and permanent residents... and to recommend appropriate remedies." The CWRIC issued a report of its findings in 1983 . . . [and] concluded as follows: "In sum, Executive Order 9066 was not justified by military necessity, and the decisions that followed from it-exclusion, detention, the ending of detention and the ending of exclusion-were not founded upon military considerations.
The broad historical causes that shaped these decisions were race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership.’

He is incapable. The master of the meta discussion. Mr. Irrelevant!
