Japanese Immigrants-1940s

I will be writing about the Japanese immigrants in the 1940s, around the start of World War II. I find it extremely interesting how this group attempted to keep close ties with homes even at the onset of World War II. As executive order 9066 was issued, the loyalty of the Japanese people in America came under question. Thus, it became extremely difficult for Japanese Americans to even attempt to assimilate into the American culture, because they were already seen as different people, and it was actually dangerous for the Japanese people to keep close ties with Japan. Therefore, Japanese immigrants did not have the best reception during the 1940s, considering they were seen as the enemy in World War II. The internment camps reflect this reception, since clearly the Japanese Americans were not completely trusted in the eyes of America. In conclusion, the Japanese immigrants did face a multitude of barriers in their attempts to assimilate into American culture during this time period, and the 1940s can be considered one of the most troubling times ever for Japanese immigrants to assimilate properly into the American culture.
