okay, set a time limit on instagram, but it hasn't made me read more, lol. mostly, i made it more of a priority this month to read. j and i also finished watching dark on netflix, and the last of us is on break so we're watching less tv and reading more in the evenings.

la times - No, my Japanese American parents were not ‘interned’ during WWII. They were incarcerated
"Instead, The Times will generally use ‘incarceration,’ ‘imprisonment,’ ‘detention’ or their derivatives to describe this government action that shattered so many innocent lives."
I think this is great, but i also think it doesn't goes far enough. the japanese weren't just imprisoned, they were imprisoned in concentrations camps. FDR called it concentration camps then, and that is still what they are. the jewish (and others!) during ww2 were also imprisoned in concentration camps, though many were also sent to extermination camps, which is exactly as horrific as it sounds and we should more often acknowledge the difference between the two.
