Letting the segregationists swap Wallace for Truman on the 1944 ticket.

Yes, because this was worse than interning hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans because of their ethnic background and allowing hundreds of thousands of Jews to die because "muh arbitrary lines on a map."🙄

The only sane answer is either not accepting Jewish refugees or the Japanese internment.

HOT TAKE: Despite Japanese internment winning, I believe rejecting Jewish refugees was worse. Even though internment was disgusting, no one was directly killed by it, however FDR succumbing to public opinion by turning away virtually all Jewish refugees led directly to hundreds of thousands of deaths and demonstrated the dangers of populism.
