Random thing but I remember the first day of sociology class my prof passed out photos of the Japanese internment camps and the first student that she called on says with full confidence “Those are Chinese people, they’re being discriminated against.” 🤓🤓
Bruh my family didn’t get forcibly interned for your dumbass to say that they were Chinese (it literally said Japanese on one of the photos)
Anyway, it’s very disheartening to know how many people don’t know what happened to Japanese Americans in the internment camps and how it’s affected our culture. I’m here to answer any questions and elaborate further, but it’s unfortunately not well known.

Happy #aapiheritagemonth. I remember where I come from every day. I love being half-Japanese. I love my family. I know I come from strong, enduring people who survived so many hardships. #hapa #japaneseamerican #ja #aapi https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBmae9pnpz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is #Kaylatadakitsu (Kay) from #thewondrousadventuroushappysnappyworld . She is a young #japaneseamerican girl with a big kind feeling. She is 8 years old (a few months older than Derek). Sometimes, Derek has developed a crush on Kay because she is the most beautiful girl in the community. I just want to say that today is the first day of Asian-American heritage month. #Drawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CdA1sJCOiwk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This book is now coming on 20 years since it’s debut in 1994. The author, a high school teacher at Bainbridge High School, worked on this historical novel for 10 years. When the idea for the novel started, it was 1984, only 3 years hence from the year In which the story unfolds. He wrote from the point of view of an outside-insider, a Pacific Northwest Islander, who was observing the events of 1942-1952. Japanese-American Bainbridge Islanders, were some of the first to be forcibly excluded, with very little warning, and incarcerated. Have you read this story? How well does it stand the test of time? Deeply researched, how did the author, who is not Japanese-American, capture the unrelenting impact that incarceration had on those who were forced from their homes, their neighbors, communities, and their families? Note: This book is on several banned book lists in the USA and Canada, for several reasons. #JapaneseAmerican #BannedBooks #Incarceration #OutsiderPOV #SnowFallingOnCedars #davidgutersonbook #exclusionact (at Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcEI995JTVN/?utm_medium=tumblr

WHERE DID THE PHRASE 'MODEL MINORITY' COME FROM?
Tumblr media
The New York Times Article, “Success Story, Japanese-American Style,” was where “Model Minority” was first used by author William Petterson. The article praised the success of Japanese Americans in their recovery and assimilation to white American society, citing high academic performance, low crime rates, and high financial status.. In the article, Petterson, and similar voices in the media and research:
Claimed it was Asian collectivist family structures and their respect for authority that reinforced the importance of strong work ethic.
Made the argument that Asian Americans should be looked up to by other “problem minorities” i.e. African Americans, who use discrimination as an excuse to not work hard
Stated that, if other marginalized groups simply followed the example of Asian Americans, they too could be as successful as them

Augmented Reality App Lets Users 'Witness' WWII Removal Of Japanese Americans Eighty years ago, during World War II, the U.S. government forcibly removed Japanese Americans from the West Coast, incarcerating 120,000 in concentration camps. This May, an exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum lets visitors step into those dark days of 1942 through an augmented reality re-creation at the very site where thousands of Japanese Americans living in downtown Los Angeles’ Little Tokyo neighborhood were ordered to report before trains and buses took them to the camps. Viewers first download the free “BeHere/1942” app (currently available only for iPhones) then point its camera anywhere in the museum’s Little Tokyo courtyard. What they see superimposed over the present-day scene is hundreds of people, in 1940s-era clothing, moving through the courtyard with luggage and wearing tags with identification numbers, as armed service members stand guard. 📱 Download by the link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id1559419724 ❤️ Join us on social networks: https://newlayer.ar-generation.com/unilink/ #metaverse #metaversenews #newlayerapp #augmentedreality #ar #3D #virtualreality #vr #xr #mr #japaneseamericans #behere #1942

Japanese-American internees mark New Year’s Eve, 12/31/1944, at the Central Utah Internment Camp in Topaz, UT. Photo by Charles E. Mace. Joseph Aoki portrays Father Time and his son Tommy, Baby New Year. Records of the Department of the Interior, War Relocation Authority, NARA ID 539711.
Tumblr media
Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, led to the forced relocation of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. More than two-thirds of these people were native born American citizens. They were confined for the duration of World War II in 10 inland internment camps operated by the military. Professional photographers, including Dorothea Lange, were commissioned by the War Relocation Authority to document their daily life. 
[The] photographs documenting the notification, assembly, relocation and incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans from 1942 until 1945... are an extraordinary record, taken by some of our greatest photographers, of a terrible injustice and the incredible dignity and resilience of its victims.
