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.

An uncle of mine by marriage was German American. He fought for our side in WWI and helped two aunts of his come to America just before WWII started.
It turned out these two 60 somethings were dyed in the wool Nazis and would have done anything to help the Nazis. He knew nothing of this side until the government came knocking at his aunts door to lock them up.
When the government came to intern them in a "camp", they cried and called him for help. When he saw the evidence, he asked for permission to shoot them.
They were locked up in a camp somewhere near Venita, Okla, with other Nazis like themselves and some captured Nazi prisoners.
When the war was over, this Uncle was able to get his aunts shipped back to Germany. He personally would have shot them if not for the law.
