Below is a reality that has been hidden by the left wing media re German Americans in WWII. Not only Japanese were interned during WWII, Germans were, and Italians were closely monitored in coastal areas.

Over twelve million people in the U.S. were either born in Germany or had one or both parents born in Germany at the time World War II broke out. Only 11,500 were interned, and vast majority of those were German nationals. Comparing what Germans went through to what Japanese-Americans went through is ridiculous.
