Is it though? For example of Muslim, it does not even affect about 88% of the world's Muslims (Bangladesh, Egypt, Nigeria, Turkey, Malaysia, others)

- baddox 10y agoI don't see why the percentage of Muslims in the world is relevant. The internment of Japanese Americans in the 1940s certainly targeted Japanese people despite that being a small percentage of Japanese people in the world.
- paulddraper 10y agoThe US didn't intern Japanese. They interned Japanese Americans, so that is the scope of discussion. And yes, it would be significant if the US targeted the 99% of the Japanese population vs the 1% most concerning part.
