During World War II, the U.S. government interned 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were citizens, despite their loyalty. In contrast, only ten individuals, all Caucasian, were convicted of spying for Japan throughout the war. This disparity highlights the unjust treatment of Japanese Americans and the racial prejudices that influenced wartime policies. The internment remains a significant chapter in American history, raising questions about civil liberties, discrimination, and the impact of fear on government actions during national crises.
