Wow thanks for sharing your family history, that's really enlightening. I can definitely see 2nd and 3rd generation citizens identifying as American. Even though they fought against the US I'd probably brag about my uncle or great uncle being a kamikaze pilot.
If I put myself in OPs grandmas' shoes, and I emigrated from the US to, say, India, I'm not sure that I wouldn't be rooting for America in a global war pitting the two countries against each other. At the very least I'd be remorseful if my birth country lost. On the other hand, it would obviously be advantageous for me personally if Indias side won. But then again I would have many friends and family members in America. I'm interested in what others think.

I mean Leslie Knope is a very warmhearted and friendly character but she does waste a lot of public funds on parks and festivals just to save her own department/job/skin.
Plus she's grossly nepotistic. She made a regular old nurse (Anne) into a health official for the city government just because she was her gal pal.
She's a total bitch to Jerry (in fairness though who wouldn't be, fuck Jerry.)
Also she forced two penguins to gay marry one another for political gain...she's an absolute tyrant.

Doesn't have to do with internment camps per se but how did you and other Japanese-Americans view Japan during the war? Were you anti-Japan, or maybe even indifferent? Did you know anyone who actually supported Japan?
