Manage episode 423021130 series 2855386
The State of California issued a formal Declaration of Regret for its discriminatory laws and practices against Chinese Americans, laws which remained on the books from the 1870s to the 1940s. The Chinese Exclusion Act restricted immigration and prevented Chinese immigrants from ever becoming US Citizens, including children of Chinese immigrants born in the USA. A clear violation of the 14th amendment, but too bad so sad! Your hosts with the most discuss legalized discrimination, White-America’s fears of Anglo-cultural displacement, and small town rumors of coronavirus infested toilet paper.
