How was the role of women different after World War 2?
The role on women after WWII was similar to that before the war. Women experiences wonderful job growth during the war, but once it ended their employers expected them to quit and return to their domestic lives. Employers held onto this belief; even though statistics showed that a large percentage of both married and unmarried women wanted to continue working. A great number of women did quit, or were fired, though some did decide to stay and were lucky enough to keep their place in the work force. Those that remained in the factories faced incredible sexism and were barred from joining many labor unions. Despite these odds, the employment of women has still increased since then.
In some cases, when governments or regulatory bodies set a maximum price for a good, this leads to black markets. To be effective, the maximum price has to be below the market price that prevails as a result of the interaction of demand and supply. For example, the market price of wheat is $5. Government is regulating the industry and fixes a price of $4 as the maximum price. Supply of wheat is going to reduce and demand is going to increase based on the laws of demand and supply. This will lead to a shortage as people are demanding more wheat than is being supplied. Some consumers will be willing to pay the original market price for wheat ($5) and some will be willing to pay even higher. This leads to a black market where suppliers will provide the willing consumers with wheat at a price higher than the prevailing one.

Why weren't German Americans and Italian Americans interned during World War 2?
German Americans and Italian Americans were interned; and they were incarcerated in more than 50 camps across this great land.
I am living proof of such internment; I was 12 when I was interned at both Ellis Island, NY and at Crystal City Texas. More than 15,000 German Americans and Italian Americans were interned. Upwards of 40,000 German Americans were arrested by various agencies.
See http://www.foitmes.com for more info on this! The question is "false."
If you are speaking of a formal internment as the Japanese Americans were, then no they weren't. However in many parts of the US, these different groups were "interned" in place and very carefully watched. There are many local traditions of certain families and entire groups who were "quarantined" in the town or forced to move to that particular area.
One such town was Cullman, Alabama. Being predominately German American, during the war, this town was heavily watched by the government and almost interdicted by the state. Other pockets of German Americans were "reminded" that they were not welcomed in the community, necessitating hasty moves in some cases.
While there was no formal internment by the federal government, the local populace did make sure that such citizens were closely watched. Part of the reason is that these populations did not settle quite as densely as the Asian Americans, preferring to emigrate further into the interior of the country. While they did settle in enclaves, most were small and rather far apart.
Only in the large metropolises is it apparent that there are "Little Italy" or "Germantown". For most of the country, the citizens are more homogeneous with smaller neighborhoods as a cultural base.
