Both the German concentration camps and the American interment camps had a lot of stock in the fear and prejudice citizens had against the minorities. Obviously, the German government continually stated that Germans were a threat to the Aryan race, but the American media also portrayed Japanese Americans as a threat to the white race. Japanese Americans were put under a lot of the same civil rights restrictions as African Americans at the time, too...
