"Do you even wonder why we rounded up the Japanese Americans, and put them in camps, and did not do that with the German Americans?" Considering more than a third of Americans have some form of German ancestry, it would have been a big camp...

why we rounded up the Japanese Americans, and put them in camps, and did not do that with the German Americans? because of the Pearl Harbour attack on US land while in the process killing a lot of US citizens. Germans never made it to that level and were thus never considered an imminent homeland danger. I am in no way trying to justify those camps and what took place at that time. My wife being Japanese you may understand why. With some effort some people see many similarities between PH and 9/11 but having said that, locking up the guys in camps hardly is the solution. You got a better idea than rounding up the usual suspects by the way? I recall a lot of Nisei and Sansei American Japanese joined the US army to fight the bad guys at the time BTW. Incidentally any non Jewish American immigrants from the Middle East fighting on our side in Iraq? Taro
