True enough.. Here is an interesting book. During World War II, some 10,000 Italian immigrants in America were displaced. Another 50,000 lived under curfew. Others spent months or years in internment camps.

Not mention lynching of Italian immigrants and Americans of Italian descent in the deep South as well.

Germans in the USA also got the treatment. Radios, binoculars, firearms, all confiscated. At least they were not (for the most part) herded into camps like Americans who had Japanese parents.

Harsh, but it was a very nasty war, and we did not start it.
