  • I once had to leave a negative review at the Thai place I go for lunch pretty regularly, because they got a new hostess and she kept trying to save me from my hubris multiple weeks in a row.

    The owners finally had a conversation with her and now I get my Pad Thai at the appropriate spice level. I edited the review to 5 stars afterwords.



  • I didnt even know germans were interned. But I do think there is relevant context.

    120,000 Japanese-Americans were concentrated, 2/3rd of which were citizens. 127,000 lived on the continental US. There were 150,000 living in Hawaii of which only 1,800 were confined.

    Meanwhile German-Americans numbered in 12 million, of which 11,500 (described as overwhelmingly German Nationals but cannot find hard numbers) were forcibly detained. I cannot find numbers for family members who voluntairily entered the camps who are also uncounted.

    They’re both injustices, but one does seems more egregious than the other. Both in raw numbers and in proportion.

    But thanks for that wikipedia dive.
