Answer 1

The statement is true. Despite widespread fears and prejudices against Japanese Americans during World War II, only one Japanese American was convicted of treason. This was in reference to the case of Yasuo Kuniyoshi, who was convicted in 1942. Most Japanese Americans were loyal citizens, and the internment of Japanese Americans during the war was later recognized as a grave injustice.
