EDIT:
Actually, quite alot of the Japanese-American population lived in Hawaii. So they couldn't put them all in internment, because the state's economy would fail. And since many Japanese people did live there, there was much less prejudice. Not to mention their military officer of Hawaii did not agree with the rest of America's view on Japanese-Americans.
internment camps were during the time of ww1. as Australia were fighting against Germany, Australia was very anti Germans like all the allied countries. internment camps is where Australian-Germans were interned. they were unfair as even if you had German in you you may have been interned
Of the approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans who were relocated to internment camps during World War 2, 62% of them were American citizens. Half of those interned were children.
22,000 Candian Japanese were interned in camps in Canada. It is tragic. They were recompensed later.
A little over 100,000 Japanese were held in internment camps.
The Cowra internement camp in New South Wales was a complex of four smaller camps, each one being allocated in turn to Japanese, Italians, Koreans and Indonesians Prisoners-of-war during World War 2.

Their loyalty was questioned.
In the USA during world War II, many of the Japanese, Italian, and German citizens were interned in Montana, Idaho, Texas, and other states. These actions were not Constitutional.
The Europeans and the Norwegians were not "interned" in camps as you are wondering. There were places for the refugees but many lived in cities and towns. They worked in the war effort too. Some worked as spies for the Brits and Americans.
They were interned in internment camps.
Becuase thier yellow
During World War II, Japanese Americans were treated extremely unfairly. Specifically, President Roosevelt signed an executive order which called for all Japanese Americans in the US to be rounded up and moved into camps.
In 1942, the United States government ordered more than 110,000 men, women, and children to leave their homes and detained them in remote, military-style camps. Manzanar War Relocation Center was one of ten camps where Japanese American citizens and resident Japanese aliens were interned during World War II. http://www.nps.gov/manz
Both the US and Canadian governments excluded those of Japanese ancestry from the areas of the Pacific coast. In many cases they were interned in isolated camps for up to three years during World War II. While not concentration camps, they were definitely not comfortable for the internees, most of whom were American citizens although the children of Japanese immigrants.
