Many American soldiers could not tell Japanese apart from other Asians. That's why they hired Chinese to point out Japanese people. The name was a big give away but mostly their faces and how they looked, and Chinese knew this. I am surprised though that many Korean's didn't end up at the camps by mistake, but I am sure if they were asked their name, and it was something like "Kim" ..they were left alone. Plus Korean's do have a different facial appearance as well but close to Japanese.

Don't be. Trump's an asshole. He wants you to be scared. If you comply, you lose.
