I don't think the money is as important. I made this argument when the government compensated for the Chinese Head Tax and the Japanese internment. The money is nice but really it's just another playstation for a kid born 100 years after the event. These events should be taught in school as history, and not swept under the carpet. Maybe the money could be used to increase the curriculum instead.
