The Chinese Way

Racism, the belief that one culture is superior to another by rite of birth or genetics, is at the heart of most cultural skirmishes. It is seen in all of the cultural interchanges covered in the two books Chinese San Francisco by Yong Chen, and The World They Made Together by Mechal Sobel. We see racism in two categories: conscious and unconscious. Together the books cover the history of multiple groups of people entering California.

The chinese’s ability to adapt to the new environment was much more prolific compared to the Vietnamese Boat People. The Vietnamese Boat people saw Canada as a land of opportunity, and only the luckiest few had made their way through, resulting in a small amount of people arriving in Canada in the early 1970s and mid 1970s.

In 1882 the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by Congress. This act exiled Chinese laborers from arriving in the United States. This was the first time ever that a specific ethnicity was banned from immigrating to the U.S.A. Racism against the Chinese was strong, so the ban remained for ten years, but was eventually made “permanent”. However, China soon became a war ally in World War II, so the ban was repealed in 1943.

For this week’s PSD-A, I decided to analyze the lengthy article published in 1898 (sixteen years after the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed) by J. Thomas Scharf, a former United States Chinese inspector at a port in New York. I wanted to see the difference between the immigration of the Chinese in the late 1800s versus immigration in the late 1900s (about the time my parents came to America).
