The germans did not bomb Pearl HarborWhy didn't that POS fdr throw every German American on the East Coast into concentration camps?
However:
A total of 11,507 people of German ancestry were interned during the war, comprising 36.1% of the total internments under the US Justice Department's Enemy Alien Control Program.[29] By contrast, an estimated 110,000–120,000 Japanese-Americans were forcibly relocated from the West Coast and incarcerated in internment camps run by the US War Department's War Relocation Authority.[29]
I agree that the japanese were the victims of racism during WWII
as were europeans who were even more horribly mistreated by racist japanese
its small comfort, but interning the japanese probably protected them from reprisals and probably saved a few koreans and chinese who might have been mistaken for japanese
