re: #265 HappyWarrior

Honestly what gets me is white people who insist MY FAMILY EMIGRATED LEGALLY! Well, can they prove that and the concept of legal versus illegal immigration is a new thing. But yeah the immigration policy to the Chinese was awful. When I went to Donner National Park, they had a side exhibit about the Chinese on the railroad. Man how those people were treated was awful.

That came up in the documentary “The Search for General Tso”: the reason the Chinese opened so many restaurants and laundries was because they were forbidden by law to take wage-earning jobs.
