= they were suspected of being secret Japanese spies

Because the Japanese had spies operating on the West Coast making reports on American shipping movements including the location and departure of American war ships. Plus on the day of the Pearl Harbor attack (December 7 1941) Japanese Americans in Hawaii assisted downed Japanese navy pilots that had attacked Pearl Harbor.

What factors made the experience of interned japanese americans so difficult?

How were the blacks and Hispanics treated differently then the Japanese Americans during war?

After the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) many people started discriminating against Japanese Americans because the Japanese were the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. People looked at the Japanese Americans as spies and untrustworthy. FDR saw this in people and relocated the Japanese Americans to camps in Wyoming to "protect" them. Mexicans and African Americans were not relocated and looked at as spies. People still discriminated againsts these ethnics groups but not to the lenghts as which they did to the Japanese Americans.
