    Thanks for touching on the Japanese interment camps. It often feels overlooked and shoved under the rug of American history, when instead it needs to be examined and in the spotlight.

      @recoil53 5 лет назад +5

      That is not the American way. Try and bury it if it makes one (and only specifically on) group uncomfortable.
      But everybody else is unworthy if they don't take responsibility for their actions.

    • @dbojangles1597

      Whether or not internment was ultimately justifiable I can certainly understand the concern over spying and subversion that they had to contend with. It's not unreasonable to assume that some of the Japanese American population would have questionable loyalty. It's a common phenomenon in war when you are dealing with ethnic enclaves that have connections to the enemy. Of course we didn't intern Germans making the policy a bit hypocritical and it was ultimately a group of Jews who ended up selling our nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union while the Japanese were relatively loyal. @@recoil53

      @@phobod1 That's true, but that's irrelevant to why Americans always duck uncomfortable truths. That's an evasion.
      Morally and ethically - qualities Americans like to claim - another person's wrong doesn't justify doing the same wrong.

    The Sho-Chiku-Bai is also very good. I steam it in a basket and make onigiri or eat it with braised chicken and sauce made with water, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chili oil, and chili sauce like sriracha or Secret Aardvark Habanero. I braise the chicken and then thicken the sauce with corn starch to serve. I like to dip clumps of the rice into the sauce.
