Government interning the Japanese-Americans after the attack on Pearl Harbor cannot be justified because the actions of the U.S. government toward the Japanese Americans were very immoral‚ prejudiced‚ and corrupt. One of the reasons why the internment of Japanese Americans cannot be justified is because Americans had already had bias judgements of Asian Americans‚ especially the Japanese.

The Japanese American citizens should not have been interned. Interned meaning‚ “the state of being confined as a prisoner‚ especially for political or military reasons.” It was not fair to blame the American citizens no matter the race‚ because they had nothing to do with it. They could be inclined to help out their country‚ and that’s why we blamed them. This is misleading because every single American citizen that happens to be of enemy descent‚ has the same power to do anything that the Japanese
