Anti-Asian Hate
A video by the Try Guys on Anti-Asian activity in the US.
Yellow peril
A surge of Asians began moving to the western US around the mid-1800s, fleeing their motherlands for a variety of reasons. Many helped build the railroads and other infrastructure in the West. However, starting in the 1880s or so, the general public started accusing Asians of taking away jobs from other Americans (not sure if most Asians were actual citizens back then or not).
This sentiment eventually led to the Chinese Exclusion Act, signed into law in 1882 by US President Chester Arthur. It is the first and only US Federal law to specifically block all members of an ethnic group from immigrating to the US. It wasn’t until the end of 1943 that the law was repealed by the Magnuson Act.
During this time, many Asians were attacked and accused of being unsanitary and disease-producing. Many were victims of arson.
