Anderson and Seltzer discovered in 2000 that the Census Bureau released block-by-block data during WW II that alerted officials to neighborhoods in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho and Arkansas where Japanese-Americans were living. "We had suggestive but not very conclusive evidence that they had also provided microdata for surveillance," Anderson says.

The language leads me to believe that citizenship and racial ancestry were both factors. Can you provide a link that citizenship was not one of the microdata factors mentioned (I believe the article implies it was)?

Thanks for that excellent link!
