AMENDS: Latinos who left a largely segregated Orange County to fight in World War II (B1) also left behind a large Japanese-American community. . . . More than 1,200 Japanese-Americans were later relocated out of the county, says activist Hiroshi Kamei, 62. . . . How many are alive and eligible for the $20,000 federal reparations payment next year is still being determined. Kamei’s “gut feeling” is that up to 25% of the recipients have done well financially and will give their payment to charity.
