Why were Japanese American interned during world war 2?
Japanese-American internment was the forced relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese residing along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps" (a polite way of saying Concentration Camps) in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the United States was gripped by war hysteria. This was especially strong along the Pacific coast of the U.S., where residents feared more Japanese attacks on their cities, homes, and businesses. Leaders in California, Oregon, and Washington, demanded that the residents of Japanese ancestry be removed from their homes along the coast and relocated in isolated inland areas.While the threat from Japanese spies and saboteurs was real, it was primarily the distrust many Americans felt of the mysterious Japanese culture. Combined with virulent Propaganda against the Japanese enemy, it created a dangerously hostile situation. Some top military leaders (later known for undisguised racial bias) were allowed to contravene the rights of loyal Americans. Years later, some were compensated for their hardships, albeit both belatedly and inadequately.Pearl Harbour led to the internment of the Japanese Americans because it scared the American citizens into being sucpisious of any Japanese person, and the government's solution was to place the Japanese Americans in internment camp so no uprisings would occur.

How were Germans living in Australia treated during World War 1?
Terribly. There were forced to sign a treaty that basically stated that the whole war was Germany's fault. They had to pay a lot of money to the European nations. When they surrendered, Hitler was in the hospital being treated for a gas attack. When he heard this, he became irate, and so began the rise of Hitler...
What racist events have happened in Australia's past?
Australian history is, unfortunately, littered with many instances of massacres against the indigenous people, known as the Australian Aborigines.In the early 1800s, the "Black War" began, eventually leading to the complete wiping out of full-blooded Tasmanian Aborigines. Instigated by the colonists, this genocide also gained the support of sealers and whalers. This plan also involved the systematic removal of all Aborigines to Flinders Island, where they were supposed to be looked after and kept safe from the sealers, whalers and settlers. Conditions on Flinders Island were appalling and completely unsuitable for the Aborigines, and disease and death were rife.1838 saw the Myall Creek Massacre, in which 28 women, children and elderly aboriignal men were rounded up and slaughtered by stockmen bent on revenge.As recently as 1928, over 30 Aborigines were murdered over a period of several weeks in the Coniston Massacre, by a policeman also bent on revenge.There are far more examples of aboriginal massacres. See the related Wikipedia link below.However, Australian Aborigines were not the only ones to be subjected to racist treatment. The Chinese on the goldfields were frequently targetted by the European miners, because they were hard-working and tended to keep to themselves. The Chinese at Lambing Flat (now the town of Young) endured scalping, torture, loss of possessions and other horrific treatment during the Lambing Flat riots in June 1861. The anger generated by the presence of the Chinese led to the introduction of the "White Australia Policy" after Federation, whereby severe limits were placed on people of Asian ethnicity coming to Australia.Germans were another group targetted. At the commencement of World War 1, the Australian government immediately stood down any German politicians or those of obvious German descent. This was despite the fact that Germans, as a cultural and social group, had made huge contributions to Australian society ever since the arrival of the first immigrants in the 1830s and 1840s. During World War I, many Germans were held at internment camps around Australia. There was fear that seemingly innocent German immigrants could be spying for the German government. German clubs were closed, businesses were shut down, many Lutheran schools were closed (all of the Lutheran schools in SA were closed), and the leaders of the community, including Lutheran pastors, were interned. (Six of the Qld pastors who were interned were British naturalised subjects, and two of them had actually been born in Australia). German, as a language, ceased to be taught in some schools. The Germans were often ferried for long distances by rail, during which they were subjected to harsh treatment, including unnecessary handcuffing and general abuse. Their luggage was searched, or just stolen and/or destroyed. German-sounding place names were anglicised, and some German families avoided internment and harassment by anglicising their names.
