Gee, you'd think a lawyer would know the diference between "ehtnicity" and "nationality". People from countries allied with Nazi Germany were interned in the United States. All except the Swedes. Might be some racism there.
And not all people from Japan, Germany, Italy, Austria, and other Axis powers were interned, only those living in the vincinity of key defense industries. Of course if you knew WTF you were blabbering about; you would know that. If people were interned on the basis of ethnicty, then those camps would have been full of Chinese and Koreans, wouldn't they?
Actually I do know the difference between ethnicity and nationality. But do you?
Judging from what you just wrote, I think you need to look up the word "ethnicity". You might want to check out "nationality" aswell since over half of those interned were US citizens.
Maybe we are getting to the very heart of your views here. You have no idea what you are actually talking about. Those interned in the camps in the US were US citizens, albeit US citizens of a certain ethnicity. And no doggie..."yellow" is not an ethnicity, that is merely a racist stereotype where several different ethnicities have been bunched together. Korean is one ethnicity, Japanese is another, Chinese is yet a third (with various subgroups at that).

And people living in Dachau told us they didn't know anything about any death camps. I'm sure captured Japanese soldiers fell all over themselves telling us how nice they were to their prisoners, just like Swedes claim to be "neutral".
Actually, the one who tells this story is the wounded US soldier himself. So...again you fail. Maybe it would be better if you just acknowledge the fact that you fail miserably when you try to present your arguments for stereotyping and collective guilt. So far you have just managed to make a fool of yourself.

How do you know? Thousands of Japanese soldiers and sailors never got the chance to rape or kill anyone because Allied airmen killed them first. Good for them.
How do I know? He never got a chance to disembark the ship in a non-Japanese port. What possible warcrimes could he commit? And again your racist views shine through. Not surprising.

Actually, I'd prefer the sharks got him. Thousand of Imperial Japanese marines were strafed in their lifeboats after their troop ships were sunk in sight of Guadalcanal. If ANZAC and American fighter bombers had not killed them in the water, they would have made it to land and killed hundreds of American marines and soldiers fighting for their lives on that miserable island. I imagine a bunch of idiot lawyers in Belgium would have been horrified at that, but who cares? Idiots don't win wars; sane people do.
Here you go again, calling for warcrimes against the Japanese... Isnt it funny that when you cry about the evil japanese, the first thing you do is list a bunch of warcrimes and try to use these crimes as evidence for the wickedness of the entire japanese ethnicity. Then, you are suddenly in here defending warcrimes, only because they were committed by your side.

Historical fact "doesn't work"? Not only do you know nothing about the campaign against Japan, you don't even know what happened in your own country.
Actually I am calling BS on your claim that Sweden had concentration camps. Its a lie. Period. So, now that you have been caught with a lie, what does that say about the rest of your posts in this forum? Clearly you are no stranger of making stuff up to suit your agenda. Its as dishonest as it is stupid.
And the stuff about Swedish neutrality or non-neutrality is a strawman because it has got nothing whatsoever to do with the discussion.

And not a single one of them was liberated by anybody from Sweden.
So what?
quote:
Excuse me? I believe you were the one telling us about my racist relatives and aquaintainces who fought the war against Japan while your Gramma was was serving weissewurst and schnucklebunnies to the SS troops in the first class section of the Schnellzug nach Oslo.
Actually I have called you a racist. Based on your statements in this thread, you are. I could not care less about whether your relatives and aquaintances are racist or not, but presumably they are, judging from your description of what they have told you, as well as the fact that the apple doesnt fall far from the tree.
quote:
And aint all this about how Swedes are genetically superior to us racists because they let other people fight their wars for them while they sit on the sidelines and rake in the iron ore and ball bearing contracts? Hey, Swedes are the Aryan ideal, nicht wahr? You certainly seem to think so.
My, you really seem obsessed with race. Whats unbeliveably funny (and when I say funny I mean stupid) is that you accuse me of racism...when I am the one sitting here trying to explain to you, a confirmed racist, that it is wrong to stereotype people based on their ethnicity.
