Henry McLemore

Henry McLemore was a sports columnist for the Hearst Newspapers organization. He is mainly known for his advocacy of the internment of Japanese-Americans in World War II.

McLemore is responsible for the quote, "I am for the immediate removal of every Japanese on the West Coast to a point deep in the interior. I don't mean a nice part of the interior either. Herd 'em up, pack 'em off and give 'em the inside room in the badlands... Personally, I hate the Japanese. And that goes for all of them." -Hearst newspapers 1942.^[1]

McLemore also wrote that Americans should have no patience "with the enemy or with anyone whose veins carry his blood."^[2]
