Answer:

Issei means "first generation" and nisei means a person from North America, whose parents are from Japan. These terms would let people know who was of Japanese descent. Since America and Japan were enimies during WWII people would use these terms with vulgar and offensive meaning. Japanese would then be an identified target.
