• W3122786169 abstract "It was impossible to live in the United States through the election of Barack Obama to the presidency without feeling that the country was turning a corner in its racial history. The cover of the January/February issue of The Atlantic magazine captured the mood well: over a close-up photograph of the President’s light-brown face were emblazoned the words “The End of White America?” The magazine’s cover story described “[t]he election of Barack Obama [as] just the most startling manifestation of a larger trend: the gradual erosion of ‘whiteness’ as the touchstone of what it means to be an American.” 1 Surely it is premature to claim that the United States has entered an era in which race no longer plays any role in signifying who counts as fully American and who does not. But there can be no doubt that the role of race is waning. I would like to point you to an additional striking illustration of this shift, one that preceded Obama’s election by several years, and should be a matter of considerable interest to those who study the experience of Japanese Americans in the United States. It might come as a surprise to you that the two most prominent military critics of the Iraq War to speak out while still wearing their uniforms were American citizens of Japanese ancestry: Eric Shinseki, the retired four-star general and former Army Chief of Staff, and Ehren Watada, a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. In 2003, General Shinseki dared to publicly question the wisdom of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s plan to attempt the invasion and military occupation of Iraq with dangerously inadequate numbers of U.S. troops. 2 In 2006, Lieutenant Watada was the first commissioned officer to refuse deployment to Iraq on the ground that the invasion was illegal. 3 On their merits, the two soldiers’ public criticisms had nothing in common: Shinseki dissented over the invasion’s effectiveness while Watada dissented over the invasion’s legality. Yet both men dared to criticize American military policy from within, and both are Japanese Americans. If this fact does not come as a surprise to you, it most certainly would have come as a surprise to Sergeant-Major Tokutaro Nishimura Slocum. Known to his friends as “Tokie,” Slocum was an “Issei” or first-generation Japanese immigrant to the United States who volunteered into the U.S. Army in World War I, fought and was gassed alongside other American soldiers on the battlefields of Europe, and then spent years trying to persuade the Congress that his patriotic sacrifice in the Great War entitled him to exemption from the law that then barred all Asians" @default.
