How were the nisei treated?

Nisei, the second-generation Japanese Americans born in the U.S., faced significant discrimination and prejudice during World War II, particularly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Many were unjustly interned in camps, stripped of their rights, and faced suspicion and hostility from the broader American society. Despite their loyalty to the U.S., as evidenced by many serving in the military, they endured a legacy of racism and injustice that impacted their communities for years. The treatment of Nisei during this period remains a profound example of wartime hysteria and civil rights violations.
