They did include Germans (and Italians.) 36,000 were interned, of those 14,000 were Japanese. At the outbreak of the war 12,000 Japanese renounced their US citizenship. This was so unprecedented they had to change the law to allow them to do it. Most of the interned Japanese were from this group. This whole Japanese internment business is yet another Leftist hoax built out of half truths and distortions, Do you really think that there were only 14,000 Japanese citizens in 1940?

You're talking about the confinement of "enemy aliens" who were interned at higher security camps such as Kenedy in Texas. Over 100,000 people of Japanese descent were interned at Relocation Centers such as Manzanar and Tule Lake in California.

Map of the camps.

You are wrong on the facts. The hard-core Japanese-Americans, who refused to pledge allegiance to the United States, were about 10% of the group. This "No-no" group, for their answers to two questions, were incarcerated in just one of the ten camps, at Thule Lake. They were the last to be released, after the war was over. All the other camps were closed just before the end of the year.

P.S. Don't give me any of that cr*p about this being a fiction. If they'd done the same to German-Americans, I would have died in one of those camps. My book is not just words; it includes ample photographs, taken by the late, great Ansel Adams.
