Why were people prejudice against Japanese during world war II?
Unfortunately, prejudice against Asian people had been around for a long time in the United States. When the Chinese arrived in the mid-to-late 1800s, there were newspaper references to the "Yellow Peril." Today, Asians are fairly well integrated into American society, but during the era before World War II, many Americans still were not comfortable with other races, and that included Chinese and Japanese people. But most Americans did not pay much attention to what was going on in Japan (or in China for that matter). What changed the minds of Americans about Japan was this: during the 1930s, the Japanese government allied itself with Hitler and the Nazis, and then, in 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor; that was enough to persuade most Americans that Japanese people were not to be trusted, whether in Japan or in America. It led to Japanese-Americans being put in internment camps, and it led to a wave of prejudice against Japan, including some very racist cartoons in newspapers during the war years.
