the US ended up paying reparations for what FDR did.

Not mass internments but some were interned. And their internments were based on evidence that they might be a threat, and not just because they were German or Italian.

I think the focus on the nips was due to the fact that they had first dibs on US invasion, so they were more of a threat.

That’s not to say others weren’t.

I think it’s an analogous situation where we want a wall in the south, but not the north - the list of troubles to deal with is prioritized based on where most of the problems lie.
