If it wasn't racist then why weren't Germans and Italians put in internment camps too? Germans and Italians were interned during WWII. This is a fact that is rarely spoken about because it doesn't fit the standard "bigoted pre-Civil rights era America" narrative that we're taught in school. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_American_internment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_internment Furthermore, if this is about racism we wouldn't have fought the Germans and Italians to begin with now would we?
