		Hirbayashi, an American citizen of Japanese ancestry, was convicted in the district court of knowingly disregarding restrictions made applicable by a military commander to persons in a military area prescribed by him as such, all as authorized by an Executive Order of the President.
		There is support for the view that social, economic and political conditions which have prevailed since the close of the last century, when the Japanese began to come to this country in substantial numbers, have intensified their solidarity and have in large measure prevented their assimilation as an integral part of the white population.
		American citizen of Japanese ancestry petitioned for writ of coram nobis to vacate his 1942 conviction for being in a place from which all persons of Japanese ancestry were excluded pursuant to a civilian exclusion order.

	Young Japanese-Americans Honor Ethnic Roots
		Gil Asakawa, author of "Being Japanese American," said a reason some young Japanese-Americans are asserting their ethnic identity might be that it has become cool to be Japanese.
		The number of Americans who identify themselves as Japanese declined to 796,700 in the 2000 census, from 847,562 in 1990, partly because of low immigration and birth rates.
		Eric Tate, a 34-year-old lawyer in San Jose whose mother is Japanese and father African-American, said he co-founded one of the first hapa student groups in the early 1990's as a student at the University of California, Berkeley in response to feeling unwelcome by Japanese-American groups and sports leagues.

	Character Set List
		I use the expression 'Japanese Unicode' or 'the Japanese part of Unicode' in a vague sense to mean those aspects and features of Unicode that are relevant to representing Japanese, especially the Han character areas of the Unicode character set.
		In fact, Japanese opinions during the late 80s and early 90s were deeply divided on the subject of whether Han unification would be a good thing, but they were united in their opinion of the existing JIS standards.
		In Japanese commentary and standards documents, the words used to describe characters and to discuss whether two entities are really different characters do not match the English words, and reflect the fundamental differences between ideographic and alphabetic writing.

		The American government incarcerated Kim Ima's father when he was 4 years old, despite the fact that he was an American citizen who had not committed any crime.

	Muller, Free to Die for their Country, excerpt
		The federal courts that would hear the prosecutions of the Japanese American draft resisters were in flux, moving from earlier, more timid times on matters of civil rights to the bolder ones that lay ahead.
		So powerful was the condemnation within the Japanese American community for years after the war that many of the resisters did not share their story of oppression even with their own children.
		Links to statutes, the legal cases, and scholarly articles are included on the website Internment of Japanese Americans maintained by Vernellia R. Randall, Professor of Law at the University of Dayton School of Law.

		In an era where Japanese heroes tend to be pop stars with spiky hair and equally spiky personalities, here was a man who had consistently put the team before his own considerations.
		As the first Japanese to go biceps to biceps with the andro-enhanced musclemen that have come to dominate North American baseball, he may single-handedly erase the image of Japanese as practitioners of second-rate, ping-pong-style baseball.
		Figures like that do not bode well for the Japanese league, which is hemorrhaging stars: Matsui is number 17 on the list of Japanese players to defect abroad.

		It's not only a Japanese "American" issue (as many people see it), but an issue for "all" Americans, because it was a test of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
		For me (and I suspect some others on this list), there's certainly no feelings about Japan having lost the war I have mixed feelings about how brutal Japan was in executing the war and find mself trying to both identify with and disassociating myself from the Japanese mentality of those times.
		The simple reality for Japanese Americans -- something that "hakujin" or Caucasians probably can't identify with, no matter how close they are to Japan -- is that because of how we look, people will always associate us with Pearl Harbor and atrocities and every other piece of emotional baggage they bring to stereotypes.
