I was thinking of this today. Remember we did for a while, interning over 100,000 people of Japanese descent (including a lot of American citizens) because of mistrust.
You could make a similar argument to 9/11, that because of the actions of some, that the American people became mistrustful of the many.
That being said, I think we'd all agree that the actions of 1942 by FDR were unjustified and counter to our values.
