The case of Korematsu v. United States is noted as one of the worst U.S. Supreme Court decisions in U.S. history. On December 18, 1944, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy issued a vehement dissent, saying that the exclusion of Japanese "falls into the ugly abyss of racism", and resembles "the abhorrent and despicable treatment of minority groups by the dictatorial tyrannies which this nation is now pledged to destroy."
To be assumed “guilty” because you “look like the enemy” is purely about racism. That is what Fred Korematsu fought against and that is what Dr. Karen Korematsu is fighting against now.
We will discuss what we need to do as a society to shift the culture and kill the viruses of the yellow peril, xenophobia, bigotry, and fight racism head on. This is about all of us!

《是松豊三郎诉美利坚合众国案》被认为是美国历史上最糟糕的最高法院判决之一。1944年12月18日，美国最高法院法官弗兰克·墨菲发表了一份激烈的异议意见，称对日裔人士的排斥措施“陷入了丑陋的种族主义深渊”，并类似于“本国现在誓言要消灭的独裁暴政对待少数群体的令人憎恶和卑劣方式”。
仅仅因为你“看起来像敌人”而被假定为“有罪”，纯粹是种族主义。这就是弗雷德·是松豊三郎所反对的，也是卡伦·是松豊三郎博士现在所抗争的。我们将讨论作为一个社会应该如何转变文化，消灭“黄祸”、仇外心理、偏见并直面种族主义的方式。这关乎我们所有人！
