#2 There's a pretty new statue in DC they can dislodge. Go for it! Who's going to stop you?

Roosevelt Island should be renamed because of FDR’s "racist" decision to send Japanese-Americans to internment camps during World War II, a new petition demands.

BTW, ignore the 1995 release of the Japanese diplomatic traffic which indicated they had friends in the communities. Or that they only moved those who resided near 90% of American aircraft production sites, then in Seattle and the LA basin.
