The UK interned Germans and Italian British on I believe the isle of Wight, so this didn't just happen to Japanese .We even interned Jews who fled the Nazis because everyone was paranoid about spies. its a tricky thing putting yourself in the place of the people of that time. very likely we interned japanese. one of my relatives by marriage was a warlord in china and a air raid warden in the London blitz but china was on our side in the war and he was provably nationalist chinese his brothers were military attachés . if he had a Japanese background I doubt he would have been allowed to do that or he would have been suspected as being a spy. so it depended what east Asian you were , chinese were treated better in the UK at least no idea what it was like in the states
The German-American and Italian-American Internees understood perfectly; so why don't you?.
