What/who do you think he is referring to as worse?

George Takei was five years old when he and his family were sent to a Japanese American internment camp during World War II - so probably that among the other political events and upheavals since

Thanks. He's definitely a fighter.

Wasn't he actually interred in a camp during WWII? And he lived through the AIDS crisis as a gay man

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 24 points 8 months ago

Probably his three years in three different internment camps.

Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Bush

Just my guess though.
