Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, and religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous.

Sounds like ethnic cleansing to me. Remove the Japanese from society.

When they say "with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous" they do that by actually removing the people from the region instead of forcing them into camps in the region and then letting them out again.

That and, you know, mass murder.

Ah right, they totally planned to let them out again. They never bothered to tell them that, but...

Dude, the US was grown out of the blood of the people who were already living in whatever place they wanted to be at the time. Every president has done something horrible to people who were just trying to live their lives. Kennedy did an exceptional amount for the average worker despite that and if other presidents had followed in his footsteps, we would probably have a more egalitarian society today. Being a hard edged absolutist and unable to see in shades of gray and take into account the prejudices and circumstamces of the time period does not make you correct. Especially as all of your posts (apart from quickly googling a definition) have been very low effort and provided no candidate for who you would say is better, even though the other poster asked you for one several posts ago. Try being constructive instead of destructive, if you even know how.
