Probably Japanese-Americans. Although they were in almost all cases totally loyal to the United States, public sentiment was against them. The U.S. government even rounded them up and put them in internment camps during the war, even though there was no evidence they had been disloyal. Yet despite being kept in camps (where conditions were not the best) and regarded with suspicion by average Americans, many Japanese-Americans volunteered to fight for the United States during the war and performed admirably.

Why did jappenneseAmericans face more discrimination during world war 2 than Italy?

Many were punished for the actions of the few. A few Japanese Americans sabotaged a tanker filled with gasoline by adding paraffin. This kept a number of American airplanes from having sufficient gasoline to defend the Philippines and caused the PT boats from having enough fuel. It greatly assisted the Japanese conquest of the Philippines. That led to panic. It made the rest of the country wonder what other acts of sabotage the Japanese would perform. German Americans and Italian Americans in general did not have such ties to the mother country. They especially did not want to risk getting shipped back home!
