It's interesting to know who really is your friend when people who look just like you start attacking them. I hope at least in my life time or my children's children where the Chinese don't go to war with the US.
But for the sake of this topic, I'd sooner volunteer to the Armed forces as soon as possible to see if they have uses for someone like me

I don't think it'll happen. A reversion to the days before rapprochement is highly unlikely. Despite what some people believe, the Chinese are not going to overtake the U.S. any time soon, militarily or economically. U.S.-China relations for the next few decades are most likely to remain based on interdependence and co-existence rather than outright hostility. As long as they need us, it wouldn't make sense.
As far as mass-internment goes (in the event of such a scenario), I doubt the U.S. would try that again because (1.) there are too many people of Chinese descent in the U.S. already, and (2.) it's pointless; internment was used in WWII because our intelligence then wasn't nearly as sophisticated then as it is now.
