What discrimation did Japanese American face during the war?

During World War II, Japanese Americans faced severe discrimination, most notably through the internment of around 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. They were forcibly removed from their homes, businesses, and communities and placed in internment camps under the guise of national security concerns. This unjust treatment stemmed from widespread racial prejudice and the perception of Japanese Americans as potential threats following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The internment profoundly disrupted their lives and led to lasting psychological and economic impacts.
