When some nutcase points to the Internment Camps for the Japanese in 1941, you can tell them that there was not one single instance of an American of Japanese descent being involved in an act of subversion. None. Zero. Because they were in camps?

They weren't all in camps. In fact, they constituted a majority, or near-majority of residents in Hawaii, and many lived in areas of the mainland U.S. other than the west coast. Neither of these groups was forced into camps. Only the Japanese residing on the west coast were.

I'm not to osure about that.
There were Japanese soldiers who fought in the European theater, quite valiantly.
I was speaking to a WWII Vet and he went through his boot camp in Mississippi, at the same place that several Japanese recruits went through. They were taunted every day, fights breaking out all the time. Those Japs were hated, but they proved themselves in Italy. They gained the respect of the GI.
Muslims here would not go to war on behalf of the US, especially against other Muslims.
