Public opinion was very much against the Japanese after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. There was fear that Japanese-Americans were acting as spies for further attacks, and so they wrongly placed thousands upon thousands of innocent people in internment camps "to protect the US from further attacks".
The public was also against Nazi Germany at the time, but THEY didn't incur any attacks on US soil to really hit the sentiment home, so there wasn't the same sort of irrational fear that German-Americans were loyal to Nazi Germany and were going to create further attacks on the US.
What was the outcome of Roe v. Wade?

Do you see more and more people who seem to "spiritually bankrupt?" Can this be a good thing if so?

You're reading How come in World War II, Japanese-Americans were placed in internment camps, but not German-Americans? (I'm not saying they should have; it just seems inconsistent)
