Read the book that is cited here in these replies before you brand a lot of people as biggots.

Where did I brand a lot of people as bigots? I can disagree with someone on this issue without calling them bigots, can't I?

Sorry - my bad - I actually did call the guy quoted in the article above a bigot. Still, I'm not trying to call everyone in this forum a bigot, but I am trying to show that it isn't a great idea to imprison people soley on the basis of their race.
Incidentally, I haven't read the book yet, but I understand the points that were made. To me, just because some Japanese-Americans were helping the Japanese war effort is not a sufficient justification to imprison all Japanese-Americans.

Italians and Germans suspected were rounded up on the east coast -- the racial issue may very well have been a factor but it wasn't the dominant or exclusive one.
China didn't attack the USA. And the Chinese weren't rounded up.
