Explain when there was systematic, >rampant discrimination against them. See the difference. Look at the West coast during the 1800s and early 1900s. Around the time of the go0ld rush, some sweeping statute passed that effectively prohibited an asian from owning land [seemingly because the Chinese were not only finding a good many successful prospects, buyt they were good at excavating the gold - needless to say, this irritated some white miners]. I don't know how long that it was on the books, but Asians have faced incredible systematic discrmination on the west coast during the past century. They certainly didn't have it easy during the years surounding WWII - many of those not interned were forced to evacuate by bigoted local citizenry [even after the war was over]. - Erik Smith [ http://helix.dorm.utexas.edu ] [ Writings, thoughts, Dream Theater MIDI, ] [ and that "E/" thing - all in one place. ]
