Absolutely the Japanese Americans were adversely affected. They were forced by the US government into internment camps, away from their homes on the West Coast. They were stigmatized, and many were traumatized by the experience. This was the grossest example of prejudice in the country, at the hands of government.
I am not aware of much "social rejection" going on at the time of WWII. The internees had virtually no contact with the rest of the people in the US. So, no one came into contact with them to make them feel rejected.

Well, yes, it resulted in Frankilin Roosevelt's Executive order 9066, which resulted in all Issei and Nisei (first- and second-generation Japanese-Americans) living on the West Coast of the United States having to dispose of their property at fire-sale prices and being interned in camps, often located in terribly harsh climates, (Japanese-Americans living elsewhere in the continental U.S. and Hawai'i were not forced to relocate).

The government's actions vis-a-vis the Japanese-Americans was worse than disgraceful, placing this country in the same general category as the Germans, who herded the Jews, Gypsies and Slavs of Europe into concentration camps (though the U.S., of course, didn't add the most heinous components: mass extermination and use of inmates as subjects of diabolical medical experiments).

Executive order 9066 should have been a cautionary tale of what happens when a government tries to excuse brutal excess under the guise of "wartime security." Unfortunately, the current occupants of the White House see it instead as a model to be emulated.

yeah. they felt as if the Americans were gonna hate them and treat them with prejudice. The rascism and prejudice led 2 them getting rounded up and put in2 internment camps but were not like Hitler's camps. Still it was horrible that they were cut off from the entire world. When the war was over and they returned home, they found out they lost everything and had 2 start all over again. What a shame!

They were more than just socially rejected. When they were put into the internment camps, they lost their financial stability (jobs, houses, businesses). More than half were children and they grew up in a prison environment: barbed wire, guns, gaurds. Families and friends were seperated. They had inadequete medical care which lead to deaths. Several were killed by gaurds for "resisting orders". I am sure there were some women who were raped and were powerless to do anything about it.

I truly have chanced on maximum British human beings to be extremely well mannered and extremely relaxing. i'm an American, the son of a Scotsman, and if there became ever a human beings to dislike the Brits, it is going to the two be a Scot or an Irishman. growing to be up, I spent a minimum of sometime a week taking part in soccer with foreigners, because it became no longer a nicely time-honored game decrease back then. the adjustments in our cultures clarify lots of ways we detect them as such, yet once you get to renowned the individuals, you will locate they are somewhat a relaxing loving bunch and make as plenty relaxing of themselves through fact the do others. that's just about a British comical cultural ingredient. They make relaxing of each and every others' prominent communities, plenty as we do, yet their style of humor comes for the duration of a touch "off" by our standards. So, merely attempt to comprehend our cultural adjustments are what makes us see them through fact the "severe and sturdy, self-righteous assholes", (that and the actuality that we beat them for our independence and an mind-blowing form of comprise nonetheless bitter approximately that.)

Many were sent to concentration camps and suffered financial losses for which they were never fully compensated.
