Are nisei japanese americans who were born during world war 2?
No, nisei are the first generation of children born to Japanese immigrants to America. They are American born and therefore citizens. Their parents are isei, born in Japan and moved to America, where they had children who were the nisei. There had never been large numbers of Japanese immigrants in America. There was a quota of how many people from each country would be admitted to the US, and the quota for all Asian nations was very low. There were probably some third-generation Japanese-Americans by the time of WWII. Many nisei were old enough to serve in the US military during WWII, and did so with great bravery and distinction, in many cases even while their families were still in the internment camps.
