The correct answer to this open question is the following.
I think the compensation awarded to Japanese American evacuees in 1988 was needed but no just.
I mean, the evacuation of Japanese-American during World War II started in 1942, so it had to pass forty-some years to offer an apology and get them some compensation. Forty-six years to say "I'm sorry, it was a mistake?" That is the quid of the issue.
I think no compensation is well worth how Japanese people were treated under no real arguments or accusations of being suspect of treason or spying on the nation.
The real issue was that Japanese people in the United States lost educational and job opportunities during their time in the camps.
Those camps were established after US President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942 to establish military camps such as Manzanar, in California.
