Question

Which group of American citizens were locked up by the U.S. government in internment (relocation) camps during World War II? A. Japanese-Americans B. Irish-Americans C. Chinese-Americans D. all of the above

Answer 1

Let's break this down also1

(B) not Irish-Americans, because, well, no one had a beef with the Irish. (C) Chinese Americans were also out because the Japanese were actually attacking them back in China. So that means that (D) isn't right.

So the only right answer has to be (B). Japanese-Americans, who were US citizens, were forced into relocation camps mainly in California to segregate them. Even through they were patriotic Americans, the excuse of "security" was used to intern many Japanese Americans, mainly in California, into camps. It's not something the US is proud of, but it happened.

Answer 2

It's (A), sorry, I mistyped that above.
