Answer – Racial Prejudice

Racial prejudice against Asian immigrants started building in the U.S since when Chinese workers began to arrive in the country in the mid-19th century, this prejudice set the tone for the resistance that was faced by many Japanese-Americans during World War II, which led to them being relocated to government-run internment camps.
