Calling them internment camps is as misleading as equating them to Nazi death camps.

  > Calling them internment camps is as misleading as equating them to Nazi death camps. No, because people know what the term "internment camps" means in this context. At least in the American colloquial context, "concentration camps" and "internment camps" are more names for specific historical instances not types.

    > No, because people know what the term "internment camps" means in this context. I disagree, because the topic is very intentionally glossed over. Most people couldn't tell you what internment means and will not associate it with anything bad.

  They are called Nazi concentration camps, if you google Nazi death camps the top results will all include the words "Concentration camps", that is what we have called them for years, whether technically accurate or not that is what they are called. Your response should have been: "calling them internment camps is as misleading as equating them to Nazi 'Concentration camps'". But you didn't want to use the word concentration because you knew it would make your argument look silly.
