To prove they were loyal Americans
Answer Nisei --- I believe.
The Nisei were second generation Japanese Americans, born in the United States to Japanese parents. They were subject to pervasive discrimination and internment during World War II.
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.
The all-Nisei 442nd Regimental Combat Team earned numerous distinctions during World War II, becoming one of the most decorated units in U.S. military history. They received over 18,000 awards for valor, including 21 Medals of Honor, and were recognized for their bravery in battles such as the rescue of the "Lost Battalion" in France. Their exemplary service helped challenge and change perceptions about Japanese Americans during a time of widespread discrimination.

Answer Nisei --- I believe.
The term used for Japanese Americans who were born in the United States to immigrant parents is "Nisei." Nisei are the second generation of Japanese Americans, with their parents typically being first-generation immigrants known as "Issei." The Nisei played a significant role in American history, particularly during World War II, when many served in the military despite facing discrimination.
Nisei, the second-generation Japanese Americans born in the U.S., faced significant discrimination and prejudice during World War II, particularly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Many were unjustly interned in camps, stripped of their rights, and faced suspicion and hostility from the broader American society. Despite their loyalty to the U.S., as evidenced by many serving in the military, they endured a legacy of racism and injustice that impacted their communities for years. The treatment of Nisei during this period remains a profound example of wartime hysteria and civil rights violations.
The Nisei regiment was a unit that was comprised primarily of Japanese-Americans during World War II. The only one of these is the 442nd Regiment which served in the European theater.
