Why did Japanese generally face more restrictions than Italian or German Americans during World War 2?

∙ 11y ago
The Japanese cowardly sneak attack created intense public hatred of " Japs " overnight, whether residents and even long-time citizens of both the USA and Canada.
Nazi German and Italian aggression in Europe was ignored by the American public up until Pearl Harbor. Then indifference to foreign affairs dramatically changed to outrage and immediate hatred of the " super-races of the world " overnight.
Long lineups [ sometimes several blocks long ] at many military recruiting offices in America sprang up into existence the very next day after the surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor.
This hatred intensified when it was revealed that the Japanese ambassador to the US had been treacherously urging a peaceful relationship up to the very last minute before the sneak attack. Then it was learned that results of the bombing had been telephoned back to the homeland by Japanese resident spies.
Thus the " not to be trusted at all " security precautions and policies of the Canadian and American governments towards all Japanese, and the subsequent restrictive measures to ensure national security of both countries.

Did German Americans face the most restrictions in the US during the war against Germany?
No, they did not. While both German and Italian immigrants had to register with the federal government as illegal immigrants, it was the Japanese Americans who had the most restrictions. Under federal law, Japanese Americans, many of them citizens of the United States, were evicted from their homes and moved to relocation camps where they were stripped of their freedoms and liberty.
What group was placed in internment camps in the US during World War 2?
I think you are referring to the WWII Japanese internment camps. After Pearl Harbor, it was thought that Japanese-American citizens could not be trusted, so they were rounded up and forced to live at various "camps" around the U.S. until the war was over. See the Related Links below.
Why did the US imprison Japanese Americans?
Because they were a different race. We were also at war with Germany and Italy, but German and Italian-Americans weren't imprisoned. (alternate answer) During WW II, when the US was at war with Imperial Japan, it was feared that Japanese Americans would be more loyal to their ethnic group, the Japanese, than they were to the country in which they were living, America, hence they might become saboteurs (or as they would be called today, terrorists). Note that there was no evidence for this fear, and the internment of the Japanese Americans is today recognized as a terrible injustice.
What do the japanese conquest of manchuria and the italian conquest of ethiopia have in common?

Why were Internment camps set up for Japanese Americans?
Japanese and Japanese Americans living on the US west coast were placed in internment camps on the claim that spies and sabatouers could be hiding among them.Since Japanese and Japanese Americans living in Hawaii and in the US east of the Mississippi were not forced into camps, and since no American citizens of German or Italian descent were placed in internment camps, the actual reason is more likely related to racial stereotypes and anti-Japanese hysteria.

No. Ike was not president when the Japanese-Americans were interned: Franklin Roosevelt was, and he did authorize it. He also authorized interning German-Americans and Italian-Americans - many in Montana, and many in Texas. I do not know why we do not hear about these interned citizens.

During World War II, anti-Japanese sentiment was high in the United States. Many Americans feared that these Japanese-Americans were spies for Japan. Everyone was afraid after the Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Most of the population believed that the Japanese-Americans could send inside information to the Japanese and allow for another attack on United States soil. President Franklin D.
