I also believe reparations should have been based on a case-by-case basis simply because each case was probably different in one way or another.
At the time of being arrested and sent to a prison camp if a somebody had land or assets worth hundreds of thousands of USD$ confiscated, they or their next of kin should have been compensated in a different manner to somebody that was say for example an unemployed person in their early 50's lodging in an outhouse or say for an example a full time student in higher education who had all financial needs taken care of by their family.
For example, how can one compare the financial reparation to a woman who was incarcerated in a prison camp for over 3 years alongside her young children to that with a businessman who was forced to sell his business empire for just 6 cents for every $1 it was worth before being sent to a prison camp?
They did not allow Germans or Italians to have a ham radio.
They did not jail them.
Having some Italian ancestors I am pretty sure of this to be a fact.
Japanese owned some good pieces of land in California some of it was stolen. So it was a land grab more than anything.
This is the most disgusting part to me to be honest. If you are to put people in cages, that's horrible and that's one thing. But while they're gone, you're not just allowed to take their land -- or say they're not paying their taxes and seize their land.
They're not paying their fucking taxes cause you put them into a cage, so that's god damn despicable and that is why repatriations should've been done on a case by cases basis. But what's done is done, nothing more this generation can do then apologize and try to compensate the estates (and with that, their next of kin).
