WI: Ozawa v. United States goes other way?

What if Ozawa v. United States (a case determining whether or not Japanese-Americans were eligible for citizenship, where it was determined they were not) went the other way, say in a 5-4 decision, and Japanese were given the right to citizenship.

What would the impact be? Would it produce gigantic butterflies?
 
A brief review of the cases suggests that Mr. Ozawa's lawyer should have taken a different approach, challenging the constitutional validity of the restrictions rather than the definition of of "free white person." If such a challenge were successful, the effects would certainly have been considerable. For a simple example, there might have been sufficient additional immigration from Japan to make the infamous Executive Order 9066, authorizing the forced relocation and internment of Japanese-descended American citizens, logistically impossible to implement. There were the Sikh and Hindu would-be immigrants to consider as well. The resultant increase in US population diversity could well lead to the civil rights movements starting a lot sooner.

With all of the existing American connections in that time frame back to China, the Philippines, various Pacific Islands, that citizenship change could have certainly opened the doors for a more diverse US population. Diverse on multiple levels as well - religion, racial & ethnic interaction, economic focus, impacts on food/diet/agriculture, entertainment, sport, etc.
 
If it had gone Ozawa's way, I wonder how well the new citizens would feel from Asia would fit into the military if when Japan attacks.
