5 interesting points

- A lot of JA were shocked, when they heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor ,because the don't feel like the Japanese ,who lived in Japan

-JA children sent letters to authority persons of the US and the want to know when there fathers will come back to them because they think they hadn't do any harm to the US.

-Most of the Ja children were very scared of the US Army soldiers when they marched them to the camps, because the had big rifles with big knifes.

-JA fought very hard for the US Army, although their families had been sent to internement camps.

-A lot of the JA lose all, while they were in the internement camp, but wenn the were let free, they were only given $ 25 and a transportation fare.

Korean Americans who came as a child to the US are called the 1.5 Generation. The are between the first and the second generation, the first generation was born in Korea( or china ..) and came as an aldut to the US and the second generation are these people who are born in the US as child of Korean Immigrants.
Cho Seung-Hui the gunman of the Virginia Tech Massacre was a men of the 1.5 generation too.
This generation is often very problematic because the are not second generation but the don't feel like the first generation either.
