Answering the question, actions like the signing of Executive Order 9066 and the internment of Japanese Americans were most likely a result of policies based on racist ideas

Further Explanation

Many critics felt the forceful relocation of Japanese Americans without any proof of wrongdoing was unlawful and was a policy based on racist ideas

President Roosevelt issued an executive order in 1942 after japan attack pearl harbor. The executive order mandated the military to established areas and excludes all American citizens.

In compliance with the executive order, the military authority in charge of controlling the defense of the pacific coast of the United States removed all Japanese Americans and moved them to internment camps.

Also, Fred Korematsu, a Japanese American felt his right was violated and approached the courts to challenge the decision of the government.

Fred Korematsu challenged the executive order on the basis that it violates the Fifth Amendment to the constitution of the United States but the Supreme Court ruled that the executive order became necessary to protect against spying, which can sabotage the effort of the military during the Second World War.

Therefore, actions like the signing of Executive Order 9066 and the internment of Japanese Americans were most likely a result of policies based on racist ideas
