I have to disagree with that bogus claim. People with recognizable German names were under suspicion and abuse as well-they would probably have been safer in internment camps as well, and so may have been America.

"Suspicious" German-Americans and Italian-Americans were put under surveilance. But that is no wise the same as jailing everyone on the West Coast (except Hawaii itself) if they had at least one Japanese grandparent. Friends of my grandmother (who was brought over from Germany at age 2) were watched in Baltimore.

But that was all. Unless they got caught actually DOING anything.
