In 1942, 120,000 Japanese Americans were sent by federal order to internment camps. Afterward, all Asian Americans (regardless of their country of origin and/or U.S. citizenship status) went from being a relatively unnoticed group to being singled out for discrimination. This is known as racialization.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Often it is general practise that people sharing common characteristics are ascribed a specific racial group. This practice in sociology is referred to as racialization. A specific identity is given to the group for the purpose of segregating that group from the rest.
In the present question also the government has practised racialization against the Asian Americans. One of the purposes of racialization is to continue the dominance over the group and maintain control over the people of that group.
