Answer:
This is was known as racialization.
Explanation:
Internment camps in the United States housed about 120,000 people, mostly ethnic Japanese, and more than half of them are US citizens. The camps, located in the interior of the country, were designed for this purpose and were occupied from 1942 until 1948. This action was taken in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II, and the United States joined the Allied Forces against the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis, but it was mostly the Japanese people living on the Pacific coast who underwent this internment.
