The American Nazi Party not all German Americans and German and Italian Americans were not put in internment camps.

how far away from immigrating a family is plays a difference, japanese came to america more recently on average, many of them were spies so it was good they kept them well fed and comfortable in trailers during the war, it wouldn't have been as feasible if there were more of them like german and italians who came starting with the colonies.

Then why not put the more recent German and Italian immigrants in internment camps? Japanese Americans were just as loyal as other Americans. Many fought in the US Army although in segregated units.

japanese were also more savage and more likely to be spies. That's why they had to be atomic bombed too to get them to surrender. Kamikaze. Really not too different than the muslim terrorists today. Savage culture. You have to deal with them differently.

You are mistaking dedication for savagery. All countries would like their soldiers to be so dedicated. Some question whether dropping the atomic bombs were necessary. See https://ivypanda.com/essays/reasons-why-bombing-japan-was-not-justified/

Would you consider this savagery? From https://www.cmohs.org/recipients/robert-d-booker

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty in action. On 9 April 1943 in the vicinity of Fondouk, Tunisia, Pvt. Booker, while engaged in action against the enemy, carried a light machine gun and a box of ammunition over 200 yards of open ground. He continued to advance despite the fact that two enemy machine guns and several mortars were using him as an individual target. Although enemy artillery also began to register on him, upon reaching his objective he immediately commenced firing. After being wounded he silenced one enemy machine gun and was begining to fire at the other when he received a second mortal wound. With his last remaining strength he encouraged the members of his squad and directed their fire. Pvt. Booker acted without regard for his own safety. His initiative and courage against insurmountable odds are an example of the highest standard of self-sacrifice and fidelity to duty.
