Question

Read the following author's note from Baseball Saved Us by Ken Mochizuki. In 1942, while the United States was at war with Japan, the U.S. army moved all people of Japanese descent away from the West Coast. They were sent to internment camps in the middle of the American deserts up until 1945. The reason, the U.S. government said, was because it could not tell who might be loyal to Japan. None of these immigrants from Japan—or their children, who were American citizens—were ever proven to be dangerous to America during World War II. In 1988, the U.S. government admitted that what it did was wrong. Based on this author's note, make an inference on what you think this story will be about. Word limit: 500.
