The forced relocation of Japanese Americans to internment camps during WWII greatly parallels the forced relocation of Native Americans as prisoners of war. Although Japanese Americans were never technically called prisoners of war, they were treated that way. I think it is sad how someone could live in our country as Americans for generations and still be treated as foreigners. Native Americans were also treated very poorly. They weren't given enough provisions to fully sustain their needs. Although it was clear to many that they would never try to escape, they were still treated poorly. Also when people got to know them they realized that they were peaceful people who's only real fight was with the Mexicans. Japanese Americans were like any other American citizens. They were respected as neighbors and friends such as in the book The Bracelet. I believe that if something in our society paralleled what happened during WWII, it would be how Middle Eastern peoples were treated after 911. I heard stories in the news about how people were shunning Middle Eastern people probably because of their underlying fear of another attack even though many of those people are American citizens.
