Was the internment of the California’s Japanese population during World War II justified? How did it affect America’s present race relations?

They thought so at the time. It is the same feelings as we feel now to Arab area type persons after the towers of 9/11.
It does not seem to have a lot of lasting effects now. Most of those who were there as adults have died and the younger ones have put it aside.
They did it because they didn't think they could trust any Japanese-Americans because of the bombing of Pearl Harbor 7 Dec 1941 by the Japanese. They figured that there might be spies from Japan living here so if they rounded them all up and put them in internment camps they could watch them closer and they wouldn't have a chance to do any damage to us.

of course it was not justified, but the japanese were not the only ones interned during the war... look it up.... it doesn;t affect race relations today... what a ridiculously stupid question...
