The Comic that I chose was Captain Marvel Adventures The cover shows a huge Captain Marvel making a fist in the air like he is getting ready to hit the mob of Japanese people, running away from him. Right under this arm that is in the air making a fist, there is a caption that reads "Capt. Marvel Swats the Japs!" This suggests that Captain Marvel does not like the Japanese people.
In the Takaki chapter 10, Takaki talks about how the Japanese came to America to make more money, to have a better life and have children. When they came here the men had to work in the Field and were treated less that human.
When the men went further inland they were treated in the same manner. The children that were born in America grew up and tried to find a place to live, they were told that they could not live in a certain neighborhood and that they should go back to their country. The people who were told this did not understand what the white Americans were talking about, because these people had lived in the United States all their lives. The immigrants, who did want to go back to their home country, ended up staying in the United States because their children did not want to go to a foreign country. The parents stayed in the United States with their children because they did not want to leave their children and their grand children.
This comic book cover shows how after Pearl Harbor and even a while before Pearl Harbor occurred the Japanese Americans were not treated equal. This shows how the white people living in the United States wanted to run the Japanese Americans out of the country. After Pearl Harbor the white people in the United States believed all Japanese people living in the United States were spies, sending information to their fellow terriers. We can see this today with Iraqis and the Iranians, due to the attacks on 9/11 and because if the war, in Iraq.
