A Serious Question About The Japanese Interment Camps.
One of the most despicable acts by the US government was the segregation and interment of over 120,000 people of Japanese descent. These individuals, the majority of whom were American citizens, were forcibly removed from their homes in the western United States following Executive Order 9066 and detained in remote camps such as Manzanar, Tule Lake, and Minidoka.
The United States was attacked by Japan on December 7, 1941. Only days later, Hitler declared war on the US, and now Uncle Sam was in WW2, not only in the Pacific but now in Europe, like it or not.
The Axis Powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan.
My question is this:
Why were Germans and Italians in the US, not placed in camps like the Japanese?
I look forward to your input.
