The Japanses natives in Iowa were not put in internment camps if I recall, is a bunch of them that been around Newton for generations. Another piece of American history you might find interesting is the Japanese infantry division from WW2..44th I think...one of the most decorated units in American history.

Me personally, I'm prolly 8th or 9th generation Irish/British, German, Swiss...am basically a mutt..but I don't consider myself European in any way. I'm Native American, it's where I was born.

By the way, Germans weren't treated well in WW1, so it's not just Japanese that had to deal with it historically.
