Was America hypocritical during WWII?

by xbvshsh

If the aim of the war was to fight for a world that could be peaceful and not oppress certain groups of people based on race, wasn't America being hypocritical? We had Japanese internment camps at this time, and even Jim Crow laws were still in effect.

The aim was not to fight for a peaceful world. Nor was the war fought to stop the Nazis from oppressing minorities.
