Why were the Japanese-Americans targeted for internment and not German-Americans or Italian-Americans?

During WW1 and WW2, German Americans were also segregated and discriminated, but it was much worse for Japanese-Americans probably because in WW1 the Japanese were on the Allied side with America, but in WW2, the Japanese switched sides to the Central Power with Germany.
