What Japanese foreign nationals may have suffered in America during WWII was unfortunate but unavoidable. ALL countries interred foreign nationals from belligerant powers unless there was very strong evidence that they were politcal refugees or enemies of that foreign government.

What Japanese American citizens were subjected to during WW2 is totally indefensible. Once a person becomes an American citizen and takes an oath of allegiance to this country, or is a citizen by birth, they should be treated with the assumption that they are loyal Americans. We never interred German Americans or Italian Americans. The only reason the Japanese were selected was a racial one.

It was wrong. Japanese American soldiers served with distinction in Europe at the same time their own families were in internment camps here in the U.S. Simply unforgiveable.

We most certainly did intern Germans and Italians.
