7.3: They Sent Us to Camp: My Family's Experience of Internment During WWII

If you meet a Japanese American, it’s also a pretty good bet, they probably won’t spontaneously start talking about what they or their family went through, how they feel about it, and how they or their family recovered from the ordeal.

I (Christina) wanted to rectify that by sitting down with my old friend Chie Furuya, whose parents (as tiny children), grandparents, and other family members were “sent to camp”, to ask her about it. The answers and stories she had for me were both fascinating and unexpectedly heartening. Her people are a resilient, cheerful people and I feel like there are life lessons for all of us here, in terms of withstanding and recovering from severe injustice (and coming out on top).

Ariel’s addition to this episode description is to point out that Japanese internment occurred in Canada in the early 20th century as well. We (by which she means Canada, or perhaps so-called Canada, as she likes to call it) aren't some bastion of anti-racism and tolerant plurality (if we ever were). Check out our blog post for links for further edification if you are interested or want to know more about the Canadian side of the story.

"In January 2024, about two months after issuing its support for a ceasefire in Gaza and weeks after Kulkarni declined to participate in the Duke University event, #StopAAPIHate nonetheless joined the ADL and TAAF as 'community partners/sponsors' for a 'Hate Crimes Summit' hosted by 17 separate 'government partners,' including the FBI, Department of Justice, the Oakland and San Jose Police Departments, six separate district attorney’s offices, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the California Attorney General’s Office. A featured panel seated Choi alongside an FBI special agent, the executive director of the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, and a coordinator from the California Attorney General’s Office...

The U.S. Department of Justice website prominently lists Stop AAPI Hate, the ADL (San Diego), San Diego County Sheriff’s Office, San Diego Police Department, and FBI in a resource document titled 'Who should I call if I experience a hate incident?'”

never underestimate the power of a carceral liberal to evade, deny, deflect, and attack any critique of their horseshit

“Despite ongoing advocacy and legislation 2 combat anti-Asian #racism that arose after the pandemic, about 1/3 of Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders say they have experienced an act of abuse based on their race or ethnicity in the last year” #StopAAPIHate https://apnews.com/article/aapi-data-racism-asian-hate-e5e8c8928dd286b48098a94c5e5f184f
1 in 3 US Asians and Pacific Islanders faced racial abuse this year, AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll shows

Despite ongoing efforts to combat anti-Asian racism that arose after the pandemic, a third of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders say they have experienced an act of abuse based on their race or ethnicity in the last year. A new poll from AAPI Data and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds a majority of Asian American and Pacific Islander adults believe racism is a serious problem in the U.S. Experts say this poll paints a more concerning picture compared to the FBI data released last month that said anti-Asian incidents were down a third in 2022. The AP-NORC survey was conducted from Oct. 10-20.

I get that China has a SHITTY record on human rights, but hey.. if we're talking about surveillance states and you're not mentioning the Australian police using facial recognition without ANY accountability, or the NSW Police Force use of STMP (Suspect Target Management Plan - a predictive policing 'black list' that is meant to predict people becoming deviant and is literally 50% Indigenous people listed), then you might just be a racist.
