Over at Japan Probe there is posting on how property is being confiscated from the families of supposed Japanese collaborators.  This policy recently ended and I have been critical of this for quite some time because it appeared to be just another leftist entity set up to attack the Korean right with.  However, a comment left over at Japan Probe made really the only argument I have read to justify the land confiscation that should at least get people thinking:

So, how many of you who voted “unfair”, but support Affirmative Action and other race-based quota systems?

I suppose we could congratulate the Koreans on actually linking people by name to possible cases of people gaining wealth through collaborating, younger generations who might actually still possess the fruits of those deeds. (But what’s the statute of limitations on this insanity, 100 years isn’t enough? Can the descendants buy their way off the list?)

Now I just wonder, if you find THAT unfair, then how the hell is it fair that I, a descendant of Europeans who went to the USA after slavery ended, should have a worse shot at a job than a wealthier person whose family immigrated from Africa 20 years ago, all in an increasingly unjustifiable scheme to make up for past injustices. Follow the Korean example and track down descendants of slave owners and punish them. Not me.

OK, now give me thumbs down and call me a racist.
But before you do so, please explain yourself.
