wrong is wrong? ok sounds to me a lot like moral relativism to me. what we did in interning japanese germans and italians is the same as murdering 6 million jews and assorted gypsies ect.?! what were we supposed to do with straight out bunde nazis living here in the us who actively wanted to fight for germany and were hardcore nazis?

im not defending what was done mostly based only on ethnicity but I really dispise arguments that seem to be clothed in arguments of moral relativism.

if you punch someone in the arm an argument can be made its wrong. if you shoot them in the face its wrong but if I had to pick between the two I would rather be punched then shot.

would you rather be on the “wrong” end of the stick as a japanese american during ww2 or the “wrong” end of the stick as a jew in nazi germany?

Nope, not moral relativism. Read all of what I wrote. Three words, EXCEPT FOR THE MURDERS might make a whole lot of difference.
