Subject
The author makes a couple of problematic/ignorant/American-centered statements but goes on to correctly identify the relocation of Japanese-Americans to internment camps as an example of racial discrimination. The author then explains how students at Middlebury should condemn racial discrimination regardless as to how far removed they are from it.

Coverage
"These people of Japanese origin were given ten days to settle their affairs and were then moved to camps farther inland which had been set up by the Army. They went cheerfully, accepting it as their contribution to the war effort."
"Although this mass evacuation has happened in a place far from us, it still must concern us. Any example of discrimination within the country whether in the South or the West damages all states equally because it injures the faith our allies have in the sincerity of our nation."
"We, in the white wilderness of Vermont, are not troubled by the immediate presence of racial discrimination."
"We would be admitting them: to help the war effort, as a step against racial discrimination and all minority persecution, that we may be united in fighting for equality of opportunity, and equality of responsibility."
