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.

NEW: Leaders in Asian neighborhoods advised that addressing safety concerns through victim support and community building would help with safety concerns. On this episode of "Civic," one reporter joins a team from the Coalition of Community Safety and Justice on a walk to build relationships and check in with neighbors.

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.

A few days ago, the family home of two of the best human beings I know was broken into and ransacked in NH. The police believe it was targeted attack and a hate crime. Donations and boosts very appreciated! #StopAAPIHate https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-wong-family-recover-from-burglary

Dammit. Texas Gov. Abbot is now *also* on board with banning Chinese immigrants from buying homes:
“…eyes have turned to Texas Senate Bill 147, which would strip citizens of China, Russia, Iran and North Korea of the right to buy land or property, including homes. Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has already said he will sign it if it passes.”

I wish there were more examples of #AsianAmericans speaking up other communities -- including in Asia, like #Tibetans, #Uyghurs, #HongKongers, etc, face repression.
We only seem to care when we're the target of #racism

Two mass shootings in three days involving the Asian community and The Wall Street Journal ran this photo of an Asian baby with this headline.
It’s been nearly 3 years of innocent members of our community being attacked or murdered and the xenophobia continues.
A huge fuck you to The Wall Street Journal. You clearly have traded journalistic credibility for clicks.

When someone tells you their group is under attack, whether that's Jews, Blacks, Muslims, trans folks, or any other group, try not to generalize their suffering.
The response to "Many trans kids are being targeted" isn't "Lots of kids are under attack."
The statistics are very clear that anti-Jewish hate crime is on the steep rise between 2017 and 2021. When one specific group is under attack, society usually says things like #BLM and #StopAAPIHate not "Well it sucks for lots of folks"
