A related question: when persons of Japanese descent (including 3rd generat U.S. citizens) were rounded up during WW2 and confined to concentration cam where many died from deprivation and disease, why weren't persons of Armeni descent similarly "interned"? Weren't they even more sympathetic to the Naz that persons of German descent?
Because people of Japanese heritage are far easier to spot in a crowd in this country than people of western-European heritage.
Hmm... The fascist Roosevelt administration had to rely on Census records to ferret out the suckers who identified themselves as having enemy japans blood flowing in their veins. I guess people of German descent weren't rounded up because there were so many of them. (My grandmother is allegedly German.) Armenians aren't western-European and certain't don't look European, IMO. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
