As the grandchild of a non-Japanese man interned during WWII, I just want to point out that the USA interned some German and Italian Americans, too. [This is part of my ongoing quest to fully inform people about the nature of WWII internments - for national security, not racism - that began when my constitutional law professor stated in class that the US only interned Japanese-Americans.]
