Exactly. I'm glad you brought up that term xenophobia. Yeah, because I think we're hearing that a lot today in current events. And so it really echoes, you know, this time period in the 1920s, especially in 1924. But I mean, it just goes against, you know, what this country was founded on. And it touted, you know, diversity and being this refuge for immigrants.

And, you know, that wasn't the case when we look at the experience of Japanese immigrants. Right.

I mean, and to be clear, what it does is forbids immigration by aliens ineligible to citizenship, entirely blocks migration until 1952 when things begin to shift. That's how long this period goes on. Of course, there's something else that happens in between that time period.

But after 1924, we're going to run into a lot, namely the Great Depression on our way to World War II, which is its own discussion, of course. We're talking about now 30 years are going to pass in this time. Nisei are going to have children of their own. Is this the Sunsei? Is that right?

Yeah, there are definitely Sansei who were born before the war and during the war. I think it's a lot of them are born after the war.

And are we talking about millions of people are present now or hundreds of thousands at the most? No, not even, right?

Right. So, I mean, I actually don't know what the population was in Hawaii, which had a large Japanese population, but at least like in Los Angeles County on the eve of World War II, there were 36,000. Japanese and Japanese Americans. The incarceration, we think 125,000 Japanese Americans were affected by the forced removal and incarceration.

There were Japanese Americans living in other parts of the country, but they were small in comparison to the West Coast. So yeah, we're talking probably less than 200,000.
