The Korematsu Institute applauds the decision by the @latimes to no longer use the misleading term "internment" to describe the experience of over 125,000 people. This is not only about our Japanese American history. It is an important part of our American story.

Words matter. Internment has always been a euphemism for what really happened to 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. They were incarcerated. We thank the @latimes for taking this step. latimes.com/california/story…

No, my Japanese American parents were not 'interned' during WWII. They were incarcerated

The Los Angeles Times will no longer use "internment" to describe the mass incarceration of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry during World War II.

Stop AAPI Hate condemns the baseless comments made by Rep. @lancegooden on Fox News questioning @repjudychu’s loyalty to the United States for the simple fact that she is a Chinese American. 🧵nbcnews.to/3xTxczM

Rep. Judy Chu hits back at Texas Republican over 'racist' remarks questioning her loyalty to U.S.

Chu, the first Chinese American woman elected to Congress, was responding to Rep. Lance Gooden's remarks about her support of a Biden appointee he says the FBI should investigate.
