Even though they’d lost their home and business as early 30 somethings starting a family, my grandparent’s loyalty to FDR never waned. That word should’ve died decades ago, after countless other Japanese Americans had demonstrated the same and re-assimilated back into society.

Sad to see this type of rhetoric coming back.
My wife is Japanese and both my kids are half Japanese (and citizens of Japan) so I 100% share your view.
