For the record, the United States interned first generation Japanese-Americans, Italian-Americans and German-Americans. They were still denied due process which is definitely unfortunate, but they weren't interned because of the color of their skin. I think that is what a lot of people hint at by always mentioning the Japanese internment, but not mentioning Italian or German. The internment of these German-Americans almost certainly saved American lives by denying the German American Bund Party (Nazi Sympathizers) from being able to engage in espionage and sabotage. Furthermore, I have a problem calling them internment camps considering how completely different they were from the kind of internment camps the Nazi's ran. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_American_internment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_American_internment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_internment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_internment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Relocation_Authority http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Relocation_Authority http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_Bund http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_Bund
