I've moved into a hotel room as a change of pace. I'm staying at the Manago, a famous historic inn run by several generations of the Manago family who are prominent Japanese Americans here. This place is popular among travelers on the move, as the accommodations are spartan, without the exorbitant spendthrift of resort style hotels.
This got me thinking: what happened to the Japanese here during WW2 Japanese internment? Japanese people have been living here for centuries as work hands in tropical agriculture. Were they interned here or sent to the lower 48?
What about after the attack on Pearl Harbor? Was there an anti-Japanese race riot here? What happened to all that rampant 50's Jap racism? God damnit conventional history sure is half assed.
