Why were not all German-Americans and Italian-Americans also interned?

I think racism played a role here - an obvious role considering American policy toward non-whites at the time. But we must be reasonable and fair. Prior to Pearl Harbor, the Japanese were not held in camps. After Pearl Harbor about 700 were arrested. They were clearly arrested in response to Pearl Harbor. Germans and Italians didn't bomb us. The Japanese did. So it was natural to focus upon them and few others.
