two definitions:

concentration camp - a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities

concentration camp - a place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard

decide whether or not the term is fair based on this, nothing else.


Then why the hell didn't we call the 1940s internment camps concentration camps?

Oh wait, because we weren't fucking gassing people and stacking their bodies on top of eachother.

"Why do we use a term that makes us look better?"


also this, lol

Im upset that youre trying to change the subject because you want attention.

Im sorry, but your family not loving you isnt a reason to fake being Jewish online.

Detention camps are suddenly an issue after 20 something years...the Clintons get away with another one.


Were then, but weren't used to this level. But you knew that and wanted to deflect. Thanks for playing!

So it was thing than during the Clintons. How can you use the "Well yeah, but still, it's worse now!" as an argument?

Keep trying to change the narrative.

Youre really showing that you truly care about the crisis at the border. Because getting upset at the correct term being used isnt the way to show that youre morally superior.

http://www.pbs.org/childofcamp/history/index.html

These Japanese Americans, half of whom were children, were incarcerated for up to 4 years, without due process of law or any factual basis, in bleak, remote camps surrounded by barbed wire and armed guards.

They were forced to evacuate their homes and leave their jobs; in some cases family members were separated and put into different camps. President Roosevelt himself called the 10 facilities "concentration camps."

This is the biggest most deserving pot kettle black moment ever.
Why are you ignoring my post of FDR calling what we did to Japanese Americans, concentration camps?

Going to say for the third time thinking what happens at the border is bad and thinking your usage of the term concentration camp is bad are not mutually exclusive. But it will be ignored because you're more concerned arguing in defense of your word than admitting we both agree what is going on is tragic and thus there being nothing left to talk about.


Ah so I proved you wrong when you claimed the US never called them that (we did) and now you wish to leave. Shocker.

Anyone that continues to use the term concentration camp needs to read a history book or take a walk through the Holocaust museum. This is what happens when you eliminate history from our schools and raise emotional kids who live in a bubble. You get people calling people who aren't Nazis Nazis and shit that aren't concentration camps concentration camps. And for the 10,000th year in a row, us jews get the short stick once again.

Also the first use of the phrase concentration camps is actually from the Boer War. The first concentration camps were actually made by the British in the 19th century before WW1

Slavery does not meet that definition. So not a valid comparison.

Because I already said numerous times before definitions change especially when something as big as the fucking holocaust happens.


What's another example?

Like there's a lot of bad prisons out there but I don't remember people crying that a minimum security prison is called a prison by people who survived inhumane prisons.
