As I posted elsewhere, the action of the Canadian government on internment was ultimately considered racially motivated. Is it not logical to expect that there was some racial consideration in the US actions? Admittedly, it was the US that was attacked and more extreme action may have been expected but to say that racism wasn't part of the mix is too simplistic. I'm sure if all the documents of the period were examined, racial motivation would be uncovered along with others. Scotty Henderson
