Warm-up for the brain: What would you think if there was a terrorist attack in the U.S. where the terrorists happened to be of your ethnicity and on basis of this attack and common ethnicity, you and your family were sent off to live in a camp by order of the President? What points would you bring up in order to not be forced to go? How else do you think you might be able to get out of being relocated? Think carefully, as this really did happen to U.S. citizens in our not-so-distant past.
