You need to read a bit better.

German, Italian and Japanese CITIZENS living in the United States were interned during the war.

Nobody is criticizing the US for interning foreign citizens. The difference is that the only AMERICAN citizens interned were those of Japanese origin. Americans whose ancestors came from Germany and Italy were definitely not interned.

Whilst a lot of the Japanese were interned, most German and Italian families, especially the ones who had been here for generations, were not and many of German and Italian descent were in our military...sometimes fighting their own relatives in Italy and Germany.
