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.

Why are Japanese citizens treated differently than other Americans during world war 2?

During World War II, Japanese citizens in the United States were treated differently due to widespread fear and prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor. This led to the belief that Japanese Americans could be potential spies or saboteurs, resulting in Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans in camps. This action was rooted in racial discrimination and wartime hysteria, contrasting with how other ethnic groups, including German and Italian Americans, were treated. Ultimately, this unjust treatment has been recognized as a significant violation of civil rights in American history.
