. . . of some of the basic info in your own WAPO link. Granted, as with so many WAPO articles, it IS kind of weak in its speculative assertions from figures who owe their authority to their supposed academic standing. Or as the interviewee herself says, she's someone "who thinks about race in American life for a living". And these academics have all this "research" which may "suggest" certain things.
Nevertheless, there's some information in the article that I think we can agree on, and which you neglected to point out in your post. For instance,"In the mid- to late-19th century, all the way through the late 1940s and 1950s, Asians were thought of as "brown hordes" or as the "yellow peril." There was the sinister, weird, "Fu Manchu" stereotype."Or, starting around the 1870's,"Chinese newcomers. . . were an easy target for white American anxieties about the growth of industrial capitalism and the undermining of workers' autonomy and freedom. They believed that the Chinese threatened American independence and threatened American freedom"There were also populist parties in California who promoted slogans like, "The Chinese must go [back to China]!" Does that ring a bell - kind of like, the blacks must "go back to Africa"? In the 1880's, a number of "Chinese Exclusion Acts" were passed with aim of getting rid of this "yellow peril". And in the 1890's, there was even a Chinese registry law.
There's LOTS more history (which you ignored), but, to cut to the chase, you say, "They [Asians] weren't beaten, raped or murdered"? What planet do you live on? Of course they were beaten, raped and murdered. And then you accuse me of having "views aren't shaped from any contact with African-Americans or any in depth reading". Jeezuz, tin, you can be so naive! Project much? I notice that you don't have much to say about African Americans in the non-slave states. I also notice that you don't have very much to say about white soldiers in the northern army during the Civil War who gave their lives (yes, gave their lives)to help end slavery. It sounds to me like you read an article in the WAPO, and now you think you're a big expert. The irony!
