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.

They were good and wonderful people who worked hard and had good businesses. They were robbed of their livelihoods and homes. They were not reimbursed for their homes and businesses and farms. It was one of the worst travesties to ever happen in our country (like what happened to the Native Americans). They were not even allowed to be citizens unless they were born here.
