In 1941, Japanese Americans were in a really tricky place. Being one myself, I can understand certain elements that most people tends to forget. Nearly all the 2nd/3rd generation Japanese Americans were loyal to the core to our nation. There isn't a singular doubt about that. These were Japanese Americans born and rise in our nation, their core value is equal to any other Americans. The first generation, the initial immigrants, those born in Japan were bit on the iffy side. While they may not be the type to go out and plant bombs, it pretty clear that many of them still hold high level of loyalty to Japan and especially toward the Japanese Emperor, Hirohito. I have read enough books and heard on the family grapevine on the subject to understand that many first generation cling to Japan far more strongly then second or third generation. Problem came when FDR characterized all as one and I think that is where some of the problems lies today. And in a racist atmosphere of 1940s........!!
