Dude, I have a news flash for you. As far as news stories go, the Japanese internment is just below the Plant/Page reunion tour of a few years ago.
It may be on your radar screen as a major historical matter, but to 99.9% of this country - and most of the rest of the world - its a "Eh, yeh, how bout that? That wasn't cool" kind of story.
It kinda got bulldozed over by that WWII story that was taking place at the same time. That seemed to get a bit more press.
But I'm sure your Japanese History 101 professor had it up there in the Top 5 of the 20th century. Maybe he even referred to it as "Our Own Holocaust." Just goes to prove you should never take anything seriously from a person we both know now probably owns a Segway.
