More accurately, we rounded up Japanese Americans living on the west coast, because we were genuinely worried about their loyalty to America. Japanese in Hawaii and the Midwest were not interned. Japanese who acknowledged loyalty were released. 15% refused, the "no-nos".https://twitter.com/NW_Horadam/status/1306426476762406912 …

I teach that episode in my US history class (when I teach US History). And it was me, not Steve, who noted the practicality of interning hawaiian Japanese.

Of course it wasn't baseless speculation. It's shocking, what happened on Nihue, and there's no question it influenced the decision to intern West Coast Japanese. What is generally ignored is that we *didn't* intern midwestern Japanese Americans.
