Well, no need to go hunting down Wings to Victory (although you can find a lot of radio on archive.org or otrcat.com if you’re interested). My point was that the there’s plenty of evidence right out in the open for widespread discrimination against Chinese immigrants and citizens during the 40s. The 1930s trend of Read more

I did mention the 1940s and Japanese internment. That’s how this thread began. Read more

When Bambi was released in August of 1942, the internment of Japanese Americans was already a political reality, and China had become a wartime ally on the eastern front, but Chinese Americans still faced discrimination. That year, the popular series of Fu Manchu serials was put on hold in deference to the Chinese Read more

Yeah I’m guessing he’s some sort of troll who just wants to obfuscate the issue by raising ridiculous concerns. Read more

The Chinese Exclusion Act was indeed only meant for ten years but was renewed in 1892 and made permanent in 1902. Besides that your idead that discrimination against Asians was only in legal form is also flawed. Read more

You’re missing there were many different laws in effect that prohibited Asians from becoming citizens, owning property, testifying against white people, marrying white people, etc for many years. It didn’t have anything to do with Communism or WW2. After the influx of cheap Chinese labor for the railroads and gold Read more

I’m just not sure what you’re trying to correct. Even after the Boxer Rebellion China was not an enemy. Americans simply excluded them from immigration due to fears of the Yellow Peril.

And hundreds of families in Appalachia had their homes destroyed when the Tennessee Valley Authority went up. What’s your point about Union Station?

Well she was very close to the American leadership and elites. Could speak English, had great American education, really understood diplomacy. Perhaps her, instead of her husband, leading the Republic, it could have survived in the Mainland. Read more

You literally already caved in when you changed your definition. Listen to @alohahomer. Your point is just so bizarre. Read more

Ask Vincent Chin if it made any difference between 1871 to him. Read more

What in the heck are you talking about? The Chinese Exclusion Act was in effect until 1943. Read more

People like to criticize Madame Chiang but she was instrumental in getting the Chinese Exclusions repealed in 1943. Read more

Attitudes towards all Asians have been hostile always. Ask Vincent Chin if it made any difference between 1871 to him. I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. Asian immigration and miscegenation was severely limited all the way up until the 1960s. My grandfather was one of the few legal Chinese Read more
