> that same post civil war government interned the Japanese, allows police to search any vehicle with the "signal" of a dog, and instead of enslaving blacks just disproportionately tosses them to wither away in prison instead. Instead of enslaving brown people here, now our kinder gentler federal government just blow them up in foreign countries instead.

I would say the 1st and last examples are examples of the federal government making a very bad call. The others are primarily the fault of local governments.
