They could add one for the 442nd, but that would expose what the Democrats did to the Japanese here and their descendants. Better to just erase history altogether.
Dunno about the States, but up here we ALSO incarcerated people with German citizenship. Including German Jews. But that's not much talked about, is it?
And from TODAY'S perspective? No, I DO NOT take the loyalty of a new immigrant for granted. Yeah, you could back then, MAYBE. But I sure as hell don't see anything wrong in hairy-eyeballing someone who still has their "home country's" citizenship ...
In the US, Germans were also subjected to the same deal as Japanese and Italians. Which also happened during not just WWII, but also WWI.
Of course that doesn't get taught at anywhere near the same level (If at all, since I never learned this in school) of the Japanese internment camps, despite being the same thing happening at the same time.
The most I've been taught about the persecution of German Americans during the world wars was that we renamed foods like Hamburg Steak to remove any connection to their Germanic origins
