Twenty-Third Strike [Voice]

[ukilledmyfather]

[Annoyed] If you ask me, it's about damned time they rounded those Japanese bastards on up! It's nothing bad, not compared to what their people are doing unprovoked... They've got to deal with the consequences, and they've proven themselves unworthy of trust!

[Private to Self | Hackable]...Father... You haven't written in so long, and all the

You do realize those "Japanese bastards" are your neighbors and have nothing to do with what the people in their home country are doing, don't you? Or has the war made you as blind as the rest of them.

[ukilledmyfather]

Well, the people in my hometown didn't have anything to do with it, either, and they went through a lot worse than this relocation or whatever! Once your homes have been burned to the ground and your women and children raped and murdered in the streets in broad daylight, we'll have something to talk about.

[candyswords]

So you're blaming your neighbors for the things the Japanese Empire has done? Just because we share a race doesn't mean we're the ones out there killing people.

[ukilledmyfather]

I didn't say it was your fault in particular, I'm just saying since your people started it, the least you can do is accept what we here have to do to keep ourselves safe until all this gets cleared up.

[urchinhead]

Huh. I'm a Jap, and I've never conformed to what everyone's told me.

[ukilledmyfather]

I think it'll be easier to keep an eye on everyone, just to be sure, until this whole damned nightmare is over...

[monoclelove]

Trust me, I understand your anger at the situation... but this isn't going to accomplish anything. Regardless of what's happening back home... the people here have no control over it. They're as blameless as you and I are, and lashing out at them is simply going to create ill-will where it is most definitely is not needed.

[ukilledmyfather]

I just don't get why they're getting so upset! What the government's doing makes perfect sense, considering everything that's happened... Not all of them are innocent, so we've got to be careful.

[monoclelove]

I imagine many of them are upset because they're American citizens who have never seen Japan, let alone have ties with the government. I agree, there is a certain need for caution, but there are better ways of doing things.

You may not have noticed, but Americans seem to have a certain amount of difficulty differentiating between 'foreigners.' It's not just the Japanese being rounded up. You ought to be careful yourself.

[ukilledmyfather]

Well, their people started it, so let them deal with it for a change! What do you suggest?

...Tch. After everything else, that would be just my luck...

[blinking_pink]

Stop. Just stop.

All you're doing is making yourself look like a fool because of your own ignorance. Take it from someone who knows how these things turn out far better.

How bigoted is it to judge a single person by the actions of others sharing their race or ethnicity? That makes you no better than the ones you claim are getting their "just desserts." These people are innocent; no matter what others from the same country do, these are not the enemy.

China is no shining faultless nation, either. Should others judge you by the actions of your fellow countrymen, or by you?

[ukilledmyfather]

I'm not judging any one person by anyone else. I'm judging what the group could do, from what the group has done.

Don't you dare call me a bigot, after all those motherless dogs did to my people just for being Chinese!

[blinking_pink]

You just gave yourself the best definition of a bigot. You want to know what I went through for just being born different? Probably not. You'd probably faint. Ever heard of slave camps? Breeding pens? Genetic experimentation? I'll bet you've never even been strapped to an operating table, crying out for your dead parents as some psychopathic doctor decides to root around your innards. You wouldn't last an hour in The Core.

People like you are the reason there can never be peace in any world; because you're too closed-minded to see anything but what's fed to you.

He's just...gonna ignore the part of that he can't process right now >>;

[ukilledmyfather]

What's fed to me? What the hell is wrong with you? The destruction of my homeland isn't just propaganda. All those people who died--thousands that I didn't know, and too many that I loved--you're going to march in here and tell me I shouldn't be mad about them getting murdered?

[Laughs] So riled up!

[ooc: fffff i'm so glad someone stepped up to the racist role...totally needed to be done! I woulda used BB but she's already got enough hate for the DV XD]

[Voice]

[ukilledmyfather]

You would be, too...

[Voice]

[appleforyou]

Oh yes, I'm sure, I'm sure. What are you going to do about it, though~?

[Voice]

[ukilledmyfather]

I don't...[tired] I don't know. But I can't just sit here. I have to do something...
