" Or they could just be taking ordinary steps to prevent riots from getting out of control and protect the populace, like the document says"
Also possible. I suppose the internment camps for the Japanes really could have been for their own protection. The Superior Authorities are in place for a reason. That doesn't mean they won't abuse that position. Still, they are better than anarchy.
For sure, the internment of the Japanese is one of our ugliest moments as a nation. Maybe #2 after slavery. I'd like to think that won't be repeated in our more politically-correct modern age, but who knows. I saw a lot of fear-based thinking and tribalism in the wake of 9/11, especially in March 2003, so I guess I shouldn't give anyone too much credit.
