It shocked me how many of my coworkers; natives who were raised and schooled with what I thought was the lesson of Manzanar, would not merely have turned a blind eye had they lived then. No, they'd help to identify nissei to send to the camps, and one, a former marine, would have volunteered to staff the guard tower.

And that's without getting into the obvious lies they were willing to swallow. How can someone stand in front of someone on a frosty winter morning, both wearing one of those stupid t-shirt face muzzles, watching as their steaming breath fills the 6' space between them, and insist the fool things keep them from infection; were either of them carrying a virus in their lungs?

Creepy.
