re: "so while some progressives, even most, were anti-Asian, so was everyone else. It was rare for anyone to be pro-Asian- but there were some- and some of those- the ones I know about- were progressives and liberals- the same people who were fighting other kinds of discrimination." Really? J. Edgar Hoover also argued against the wholesale internment of the Japanese during WWII. He your idea of the type of liberal or progressive who fought other kinds of discrimination? What about Ralph Lawrence Carr? He your idea of a liberal/progressive? Carr was the Republican Governor of Colorado from 1939-1943. Carr opposed the New Deal policies of FDR. Carr said this about Japanese Americans during WWII... "If you harm them, you must harm me. I was brought up in a small town where I knew the shame and dishonor of race hatred. I grew to despise it because it threatened the happiness of you and you and you." And thankyou for introducing me to Mr. Freeman, I have now read something about him, and believe he was probably a Progressive (a BullMoose Republican).
