The racist Americans of the 1940s realized they could not put all the Italians and Germans into internment camps to weed out spies. They would have had to put half of New York City citizens into internment camps. There were millions of them in the US at that time as there are now too. There were not as many Japanese so they put them into the camps illlegally.

What was the US Supreme Court case Korematsu v US about?
This was a case determining the constitutionality of putting Japanese Americans into "relocation" camps or internment camps.
