yes I'm aware of the article's topic my point was a response comparing Nazi Germany's holocaust to internment of Japanese Americans. That isn't whataboutism, it's a fact. Japanese Americans weren't gassed or killed en masse by USG and that changes the equation. You are attempting to hijack the conversation into a circular argument by simply negating what I'm saying without considering the stark difference between genocide and politically motivated discrimination.

Very different things. Neither are good but it's pretty clear which countries were the worse at offenses.

It's hard to understand where you're coming from, given that the topic of the article is Japanese-American internment.
