    The actions of one man in a unique situation ultimately led the US government to imprison over 120,000 Japanese Americans, a shameful and unjust measure intended to protect the country from future betrayals.

That's a little selective. If there had been no internment camps there would have been no farms for angry, displaced Okies to buy for a song and no way for white racists to disenfranchise a well-established, successful minority race throughout the West.
