littleblackchat: iomni: micdotcom: Watch: George Takei has a vital message for those misusing and misremembering Japanese internment. I’ve been trying to tell people this and I get ignored and told to fuck off. Sorry this isn’t ML-related, guys, but the idea of persecuting Americans because they’re Muslim, deporting Muslim immigrants, refusing refugees from Muslim countries, creating a Muslim registry… these ideas are amoral, unAmerican, and simply not right. What’s more, we’ve been through this before and it remains one of the greatest marks of national shame in our history. Some of my family members – American citizens – were interned, and they lost everything: their home, their property, their faith in their government and in human decency in general… Please don’t let this hateful rhetoric slide. -- source link
