120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry were taken away of their homes, belongings and everything they had worked for but told to pack up and leave. They were put in detention centres and camps in 1941 after Pearl Harbor and didn't get out till the end of the war 1944-45. There was also a small number of Americans of German and Italian ancestry that were locked up but not as long as the Japs and not as many. The reason for locking them up was because they said they were the enemy and saying that a 'Jap is a Jap'. The media created these negative stereotypes.

Why was Japanese interred during World War 1 and not Germans or Italians?
Japanese were interned in WW2 not WW1. German & Austria-Hungarian citizens were interned in WW1. German & Italian citizens were interned in WW2. It is a common international practice to intern the citizens of enemy nations during times of war. The real question was if American citizens of Japanese ancestry (or Japanese citizens with US 'green cards') should be interned by the American government because of the threat of disloyality. The US government believed that the Japanese-American population was more likely to be disloyal than the German-American or Italian-American population. Also these others were much too large to intern.
