Week 10 - Prejudice Attitudes Cont'd

Will we ever get past our fears of misunderstanding the differences of others which always seems to lead to dislike and hatred. It was equally surprising to learn that a U.S. President ordered the incarceration of innocent Japanese men, women and children under armed guard.  What on earth did he think they would do to harm the country.  A risk to national security was the "excuse."  It's amazing that in these type cases of discrimination excuses are easily made to justify bad judgment and wrong doing.  There are many ways to ensure the safety of the country without singling out a group as a threat when no threat exists.   No different than the Holocaust except there's no record of Japanese people being killed in these camps. Over the course of history the incidents appear to repeat themselves.  Will we ever learn to educate ourselves with regards to racial/cultural differences so that we may do right by others and embrace truth that here is no superior race but only one race the human race.
