Why were Japanese American interned during world war 2?

Japanese-American internment was the forced relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese residing along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps" (a polite way of saying Concentration Camps) in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the United States was gripped by war hysteria. This was especially strong along the Pacific coast of the U.S., where residents feared more Japanese attacks on their cities, homes, and businesses. Leaders in California, Oregon, and Washington, demanded that the residents of Japanese ancestry be removed from their homes along the coast and relocated in isolated inland areas.While the threat from Japanese spies and saboteurs was real, it was primarily the distrust many Americans felt of the mysterious Japanese culture. Combined with virulent Propaganda against the Japanese enemy, it created a dangerously hostile situation. Some top military leaders (later known for undisguised racial bias) were allowed to contravene the rights of loyal Americans. Years later, some were compensated for their hardships, albeit both belatedly and inadequately.Pearl Harbour led to the internment of the Japanese Americans because it scared the American citizens into being sucpisious of any Japanese person, and the government's solution was to place the Japanese Americans in internment camp so no uprisings would occur.


How are blacks treated in Russia?

Blacks in RussiaGenerally they are not viewed with much benevolence. Firstly Negroes in Russia were slaves imported as curiosities. They served as some kind of exotic menservants in rich households.In medieval times the notion that they were offspring of Noah's second son, Ham, determined attitude to Negroes. The word "kham" in Russian language still depicts rough and unpleasant person. In early Russian history the most prominent Negro is undoubtedly one of great-grandfathers of famous Russian poet, Alexandr Pushkin. Some eccentricities in poet�s behavior were, by common opinion of his contemporaries, caused by his Abyssinian descent. Name of Pushkin�s ancestor was Peter (Petr) Hannibal. It ought to be noted that he made an excellent carrier in Russia. He began it as personal servant of czar Peter the Great. Czar then became his god-father and later on Peter made him a captain-lieutenant in Preobrajensky regiment. Czar himself was a captain in this elite unit. Under empress Elisabeth Hannibal was made a general in engineers. I may add also that in XIX century�s Russia among most popular fiction personages were Othello and Uncle Thom as well as heroes of Alexandre Dumas-pere�s novels (Dumas, who like Pushkin, was partly Negro, was very amiably greeted in Russian high society when he arrived in Russia in 1851). After revolution of 1917 Negroes were mostly considered as human material to be used in future world upheaval. During the mid-1920s blacks from USA and Africa began to study in so-called �Lenin school� and in University of Toilers of the East. Their curriculum included Marxism-Leninism and affiliated topics as well as training in underground activities, spying and guerrilla warfare. Kremlin�s favorites Negroes became in the early 1960s as British, French and Portuguese colonies started to fall apart. Names like Nkrumah, Toure or Lumumba were getting the best Soviet press possible. Consequently number of black students in Moscow increased sharply and "Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University" was established in 1960 to enroll them. Also the most prestigious of Moscow and Leningrad colleges and universities opened their doors for students from newly liberated African republics. From that time begins intensification of racial hatred. Russian collegues of African students as a rule disliked them. The most common accusations served as pretext for inimical feelings were laziness, incompetence, arrogance of blacks and status of preference they enjoyed during exams. They were much to well-founded to be liked; money gave them an unjust edge in winning hearts of Russian girls and access to elitist �Beriozka� shops closed to general population. Russian proclivity to xenophobia is nothing new and it got great impetus after �Perestoyka� when nationalist convictions started to rise dramatically. Nowadays people with darker shade of skin are favorite targets of Russian skinheads� attacks.
