Regardless of how you feel, pretty please don't make the analogy of what Imperial Japan was doing at the time. Americans of Japanese descent and Japanese in Japan are two separate entities and no relevance to each other in this sort of thing.
Almost 80 years later, California will apologize formally to Japanese Americans for its role in what became the largest single forced relocation in US history.
The California state assembly is expected to approve a resolution later this week apologizing for supporting the "unjust exclusion, removal, and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, and for its failure to support and defend the civil rights and civil liberties of Japanese Americans during this period."
Muratsuchi's resolution is the latest action in an effort by California leaders to reckon with the state's problematic history.
In 2006, California passed a law that formally apologized for its role in the Depression-era "Mexican Repatriation," when a wave of anti-Mexican hysteria prompted officials to round up Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans living in the US and force them to relocate to Mexico.
Then in 2009, the state apologized to Chinese Americans for laws dating back to the mid-19th Century that discriminated against Chinese immigrants.
Last year, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a formal apology for the state's atrocities against Native Americans, describing that history as "genocide."
Earlier this month, Newsom announced an initiative to grant clemency to people who were prosecuted in California for being gay.
