Less likely than EVERYONE who looks Asian ending up in camps.
Japanese people aren't Asian, but Indian (from India) people are. There's no underlying logic, it's just hate.
Were you homeschooled by a pigeon?
In Britain "Asian" means you're from India, Bangladesh or Pakistan. Not from Japan etc. Then you're from the Far East.
Okay, but what if you, you know, like, ask people from Asia what “Asian” means?
You're British, yes? Ignore the US centric douche canoes.
100% and it will be worse.
Covid was a glimpse.
I had coworkers who left small towns because they were Asian. Imagine being Filipino and having racists shout Chinaflu at you. Every single Asian person I met has a story.
I also had a friend disown their parents because they harassed a Thai family all during covid, calling them child smugglers. I've met these people, and they were perfectly wonderful 15 years ago. Just oblivious racists.
They already have internment camps. They'll just build more.
You want to talk about concentration camps? We're already expanding our own Black Site.
America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. The average maximum security prison holds 800-1200 prisoners. The largest, Angola, LA, holds over 8000.
Our most famous black site, Guantanamo Bay, located in CUBA (WTF?), currently holds about 120. They are now building a facility there, that will hold 30,000 prisoners. That's nearly 4 times our largest prison, which is already about 8 times larger than average.
The question is: Who do they intend to put in that new facility, which is far from any oversight by the media or the courts. It's in fucking Cuba, which is controlled by...well, you get it.
I was a victim of the recent Reddit bloodbath, with a 12 year/ 900K+ karma account. Clearly, they reviewed my high-volume posting account, and they know how I feel about them, and the punishments they have earned. I expect that at some point, there is a pretty good chance I'll be getting a free vacation to Cuba.
They'll be looking for any excuse to throw people in there. In a war with China, theyll go right to the top.
Right there with you bud. Constantly on edge about when they will decide to abduct my wife at work or while shopping. It's a good thing I made peace with my near term death a long time ago, or this might be stressful.

Ive been warning my family and friends that at my age, I've got nothing to lose, and if the government were to do something to my son (who fits a few vulnerable groups), i would become a very dangerous man. And my danger wouldn't be random, or aimed at innocent civilians, it would be tightly targeted.
Bless up. I hope it never comes to that, but you have my full support if it does
Under the current administration? 100%.
Theres a 50-50 chance they end up in internment camps without any war breaking out...
Under the current regime, very likely
Probably high.
Of course most people would be shocked at even the idea. But given time, paranoia, stress,… they would end up finding it necessary
War cause extreme polarization. Extreme polarization turn the nicest purest man into a sociopathic monster.
There's no "people" involved in that decision. There's Trump. If he cared about public opinion he wouldn't be half as destructive as he is.
We're already well-started down this path with brown people that we aren't at war with. The group of undesirables must constantly expand under fascist rule. To answer you succinctly: incredibly likely, perhaps even a near certainty
All Americans & all people in or attempting to enter America are in danger of being disappeared now.
Hell, trans people staying in the US are in danger of being disappeared now.
Guaranteed, and that's without your hypothetical war. Currently it's just a matter of time.
100%
Depends on how hard it is to set the camps on fire and how much they're hidden from the local population. In a better timeliness.
In this timeline, it would probably occur in a number of the states but I do like to hope some would resist.
I mean Louisiana has received several people in their prisons. Seems like effective infrastructure.
I have a feeling that no matter who is in charge, we'll either see that or a large emphasis put on keeping tabs on them. Either way, it would be a nasty situation for everyone involved.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
