Years ago, well before Trump was a name we heard multiple times every fucking day, George Takei came and spoke at a thing I attended. He told the story of his family being rounded up during WWII because they were Japanese.
He was only 4 or 5 or so, but he still remembers the moment when they came to his house and took him and his family away to one of those camps.
It was an incredibly moving story and he told it with such emotion that it was as if it had happened to him the year before. People in the audience were tearing up. I’ll never forget it.
This is not okay.
Takei talked about it earlier this year on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast as well

Oh thanks! I’ll definitely listen on the way to work tomorrow!
