I think that interning the Japanese population in the US during WW2 was a good decision, but why weren't the German - American population interned too.
I am sure there were many Nazi sympathizers within their midst too.
Why weren't they interned too ? .
Why weren't German Americans Interned too?

Real question is why arent muslim Americans interned despite the fact we're at war with the Middle East
Michael Martin
Because to be perfectly honest, German-Americans weren't Asian and during WWI German-Americans already showed their loyalty.
Also there was spying programs to check on places that were dominated by nazi sympathizers in the US.
Jackson Watson
Because they were white.
Caleb Morris
The Americans were afraid of the Germanic warrior while they were clearly not afraid of the Samurai warrior.
Gabriel Hall
Because there were tens of millions of German Americans scattered around the country in positions ranging from farmers to politicians and owners of large companies.
Japanese were much smaller in comparison, were concentrated in the west coast, and mostly held low level jobs or businesses.

>during WWI German-Americans already showed their loyalty.
That's a funny way of saying staged protests and bombed shipping facilities delivering to the entente.

He isn't wrong you idiot. The krauts had already ingrained themselves into every strata of society, while nips were still confined to the coasts holding immigrant jobs.
Luis Adams
You can't intern a quarter of the population you autist.
John White
Because a) they weren't easily distinguished from other white americans, because b) they weren't a minority, as most white americans had and still do have german ancestry.
Nathaniel Cooper
The Soviet Union is laughing at you.
Nathan White
Only 20% of muslims live in the middle east
Chase Smith
The USSR never came remotely close to interning 25% of its population.
Oliver Allen
Only 20% of muslims live in the middle east
Also, why aren't jews interned because we are at war with the middle east

It's only in recent decades that the nazis took over America.
English ancestry used to be the biggest well into the 1980's.

This plus racism unironically. German pows were even treated pretty well in America. And consider the atomic bomb. I doubt we would have dropped one on Germany, but it was easy to drop one on Japan.
Juan Hernandez
As someone who was born "jewish" (although I am an atheist and hate judaism ) I admit I wouldn't mind seeing germans in concentration camps.
Too bad Roosevelt and Truman were german lovers.
Tyler Powell
learn to read the numbers... 50mil english and 50mil german... WOW
Christopher Smith
hey kid... fuck you
Levi Martinez
another point: Japs did pearl harbour... germans just invaded other countries in a "fair war", no one knew about the holocaust at that time so they didn't hate germans as much as they hated the japanese

Nazi sympathezers in America
Also germans are a significant amount of citizens.
Japanese are an easy target.
Luis Rivera

Joshua Nguyen
Is it true that German American soldiers were always sent to the Pacific Theater?
James Walker
Probably assumed after the Volksdeutsche return meme that most of the Nazis already fucked off, besides the turbo-autists in the German American Bund anyway
Michael White
They were you dingus, as were Italian-Americans.
Henry Rivera
german americans were interred you dumbass. look it up.
Wyatt Nelson

Pretty good about telling how German pows were treated in middle America during the war
Easton Wilson
But the whole country was a concentration camp
Elijah Johnson
Same reason they didn't use white slaves in the slave trade
hard to distinguish from ordinary folk (they did interned some of them just not as much as the japs).
Connor Flores
They were, including Fritz Kuhn. The founder of the German American bund.
Owen Cruz
Who is "Fritz Kuhn" ?
Without looking him up on Wikipedia, let me guess :
a German - American turbo - autist who was a nazi sympathizer .
Matthew Sanchez
Yeah, pretty much, also an embezzler and con artist
Anthony Sanders
wow they only interned 10,000? They got off easy.
Carter Campbell
They were afraid of the Midwestern warrior.
Evan Cooper
Only 20% of muslims live in the Middle East.
Adrian Morgan
i'm pretty sure the original plan was to nuke Berlin
