发帖数: 6571 | 1 Were Asian people in USA segregated and discriminated against in the 60s?
Did Asians use the same water fountain as Black people or White people?
Which schools did they go to?
Did they have to sit at the back of the bus?
Basically, were they grouped in with White people or Black people, or were
they treated as a separate group?

Kat Tanaka Okopnik, I am one.
It's important to understand that the segregation of water fountains and bus
seating come from what are known as Jim Crow laws, and that these primarily
covered the South. Large scale immigration from East Asia started as the
Civil War was winding down, and was aimed toward supplying cheap labor in
the West. There was no incentive for East Asians to migrate to the South,
where the labor niche was already filled.
Legally, Asians were mainly treated as a separate group, with specific
discriminatory laws and regulations covering immigration, citizenship, land
ownership, and schooling. (Wikipedia's overview here is reasonably helpful:
History of Asian-American immigration)

I lived in WA state during the 60's. I have a vivid memory of a Japanese man
who worked at our local post office. Some customers wouldn't get in his
line to mail packages. My mother, who liked chatting with him, tried to
explain to me it was "because of the war".
What war?
"WW2", my mom said.
Silly me, I said I thought it had ended a long time ago.
Then she told me Japanese people had been rounded up and taken to "camps".
I still remember the deep shame I felt.
It also bugs the heck out of me when people label an Asian person with a
Caucasian person as being a "bi-racial" couple. When does this nonsense end?

I think that this is highly location dependent, but my teachers in central
Florida told me that during the 1960's, the very few Asians that lived where
I did were considered "white" and went to the white segregated schools.
One odd bit of identity is that growing up, we were classified as "white" so
I've always thought of the Asian identity was odd.
This isn't universal. One bit of Texas history that I learned was that the
railroad workers of East Texas were considered "black" and intermarried into
the local black population. The Pershing Chinese who general Pershing

San Francisco attempted to segregate Japanese children in schools in 1906,
Japan protested, and this was banned in the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907.
Segregated Schools in San Francisco
San Francisco segregated Chinese children in a separate elementary school
for decades. The Chinese community successfully resisted an attempt to
segregate high school in 1900. In 1929 when the Chinese school was over
capacity the school board agreed to admit Chinese children to other public
elementary schools. Some other California cities never segregated Chinese
students. Segregation was formally banned in 1947 by a court ruling on a
case about segregated schools for Mexicans, which had only appeared well
into the 20th century.

My lord yes.
This was the Viet Nam era. Even though we were supposedly fighting for the
Vietnamese, anti Asian sentiment was really strong.
My uncle was stationed in Korea during the Vietnam War and met his now wife,
who is Korean. They moved back with their daughter to Michigan and they
experienced a lot of cruel and disgusting comments.
My cousins were the only Asian American kids in their town for a long time.
People made fun of my aunt. And laughed at how she spoke " Chinese." ( sigh)
I'm not proud of this, but I can remember laughing at some of the jokes that
Asian American Quorans report in their answers. ( I don't know where that
whole me go pee pee in your coke meme came from)
I think something that compounded it is many Asians are Buddhist, Confuscist
or atheist. Just waaaasy too much for some Christian Americans to deal with
. Very threatening.
The whole " they are taking our jobs " thing is still around.
Asian women , from the stories if friends and my cousins, gave also dealt
with some particularly lewd and fetishizing behavior, because of stereotypes
brought back from veterans who frequented prostitutes.
My college roommate was Chinese . American. Its 1990s, and someone asked
me if its true Asian women's vaginas are sideways. I feel bad even typing
that.
So, yeah, they sure did experience prejudice.
Edit: I strayed from the 60s timeline with some of these examples. I was
born in 1970.

Speaking only from the Chinese-American perspective:
Of course they were discriminated against. Asians are discriminated against
even now. But Chinese-Americans segregated themselves more than anything
else. Having experienced violent hate crimes from the 1800s onward, Chinese
immigrants banded together for protection, isolating themselves in
Chinatowns and rarely venturing outside the boundaries into any situation in
which whites would ever get a chance to impose segregation on them.
There never would have been a need for a white-owner diner to put up a sign
saying "No Chinks Allowed" because no Chinese person would have even
considered going to that diner in the first place. Because that would cause
trouble, and if there's one thing that's drilled into our heads, it's to
keep them down and avoiding causing "trouble."
As for whether they were grouped with white people or black people, the
answer is "neither." They were simply ignored, invisible, practically non-
existent.

For blacks, there were different patterns of segregation in the North and
South. In the North, it was mostly be region and unofficial. In the South,
the races were mostly mixed and partly intermingled, but with a racial
hierarchy enforces.
How East Asians or South Asians were classified rather depended on where
they were and in what numbers. And East Asians were seen as standing higher
in the racial hierarchy.

发帖数: 6571 | 18 Asian American History Timeline
Asians first began to immigrate to the U.S. in the mid-19th century. Since
then, they have undergone violent and unjust discrimination but have also
overcome it. Today, Asian-Americans proudly live as U.S. citizens, with
equal rights and equal contributions to the country.
19th Century Asian-Americans
20th Century Asian-Americans
21st Century Asian-Americans
19th Century Asian-Americans
1850’s Migration to Gold Mountain
The first Asians to migrate to the United States were the Chinese in the mid
-19th century to work in the gold mines and railroads.1
1850 People vs. Hall
This appealed murder case established that Chinese in the U.S. had no rights
to testify against white citizens. The ruling freed Hall, a white man, from
the conviction and death sentence for killing Ling Sing, a Chinese man.
Three Chinese had testified to the murder.2
1868 Burlingame Treaty
The Burlingame Treaty of 1868 established friendly relations between the U.S
. and China, including the encouragement of Chinese immigration to the U.S.,
but naturalization was strictly prohibited.3
1870 Naturalization Act
The Naturalization Act of 1870 put controls on U.S. immigration and limited
naturalization to “aliens of African nativity and to persons of African
descent” “whites” thus excluding all Asians from receiving citizenship.4
1882 Chinese Exclusion Act
Anti-Chinese sentiment grew and in 1882 the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed
, effectively banning Chinese migration for 10 years.5
As a result, there was an increase in Japanese immigration to replace
Chinese laborers.
1885-86 Anti-Chinese Riots Washington
After years of anti-Chinese sentiment, which is said to have stemmed from
the Union Pacific Railroad company hiring Chinese as strikebreakers in 1875,
culminated in tragic riots. The China Town in Seattle was burned down on
October 24. That year there were also violent riots against Chinese in
Washington, Alaska, California, Wyoming, South Dakota and Nevada.6
1898 U.S. acquires the Philippines
In 1898, the U.S. acquired the Philippines from Spain as a territory at the
end of the Spanish-American War. This was the start of Filipino migration.
20th Century Asian-Americans
1905 Anti-Japanese Movement
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League formed in San Francisco by 67 labor
unions, barring
1906 Filipino migration to Hawaii
Hawai`i Sugar Planters'Association (HSPA) began recruiting workers from the
Philippines in 1906 after their access to Chinese, Japanese and Korean labor
was limited by immigration legislation. By 1930, about 100,000 Filipino
workers had migrated to Hawaii.
1907 Asian Exclusion Act League
Japanese and Korean Exclusion League renamed the Asian Exclusion League to
combat the influx of Indian immigrants.8
1907-1908 Gentleman’s Agreement with Japan
With a goal to reduce tensions between the two countries, the U.S. and Japan
entered into an agreement in 1907 that hindered the migration of Japanese
to the U.S. The U.S. would not restrict Japanese migration, but rather Japan
would deny passports to laborers seeking to enter the U.S.9
1910 Angel Island
Angel Island, off the coast of San Francisco, opened as an immigration
station. Here, many Asian migrants were unjustly held or even turned away.10
1914-1918 World War I
Despite discrimination against Asian-Americans, many chose to serve in the
war and were awarded naturalization for their service. By the end of World
War I in 1918, there were nearly 180,000 Asian-Americans living in the
United States, including about 100,000 Japanese and 60,000 Chinese and 5,000
Filipinos.11
1917 Immigration Act
Enacted during World War I, the Immigration Act of 1917 restricted
immigration from anyone born in a geographically defined "Asiatic Barred
Zone" except for Japanese and Filipinos. The Gentleman's agreement already
restricted immigration of Japanese and the Philippines was an American
colony and so its citizens were American nationals.12
1924 Immigration Act
The Immigration Act of 1924 created a national origins quota which limited
the number of immigrants by country and excluded all immigrants from Asia.12
1941 Pearl Harbor
Even before Pearl Harbor, Japanese were discriminated against in the U.S.
After the attack, this discrimination grew to monumental proportions.
1942 Japanese Internment begins
On March 18, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the War
Relocation Authority that forcefully moved to internment camps. But even
with this discrimination, many first-generation Japanese-Americans joined
the U.S. military.13
1942 Second War Powers Act
The Second War Powers Act of 1942 opened naturalization to many immigrant
groups, removing requirements of such as age, race and enemy alien status.
The Act was created with intentions to naturalize persons serving in the U.S
. military during World War II.14
1943 Chinese Exclusion Act repealed
The Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed in 1943, removing the annual quota
that limited Chinese migration to 105 visas per year. The action was done to
strengthen ties with World War II ally China, who was under the influence
of Japanese propaganda which referenced Chinese exclusion from the U.S.
However, while the Act was repealed, the still standing Immigration Act of
1924 stated that aliens ineligible for U.S. citizenship were not permitted
to enter the U.S. and this included Chinese.15
1945 World War II ends / War Brides Act
Enacted on December 28, 1945 the War Brides Act allowed the immigration of
all non-Asian spouses, natural children and adopted children of U.S.
military personal.
Asians who had served in the military, excluding Japanese, during the war
were given the option of becoming U.S. citizens. Approximately 10,000
Filipinos took this opportunity.16
1946 Luce-Cellar Bill
The Luce-Cellar Bill was passed in 1946 to allow 100 Indians to be admitted
per year and allowed them to become citizens. The Philippines got a quota of
100 persons per year.
1948-1965 Indian Immigration
Between 1948 and 1965 nearly 7,000 East Indians immigrated to the U.S., the
largest number in history.8
1947 War Brides Act modified
The War Brides Act, originally established at the end of WWII, was modified
to no longer me exclusionary to Asians. However, the ban was lifted only for
spouses of U.S. military personnel, not children, and only if the marriage
occurred no later than 30 days after the law’s enactment..17
1952 Immigration and Nationality Act
The 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act upheld the national origins quota
system, which limited the number of immigrants allowed to enter the U.S.
annually by country. It ended the Asian exclusion from immigrating to the U.
S. and created a preference system which determined eligibility by skill
sets and family ties in the U.S.18
The Act eliminated laws preventing Asians from naturalizing, got rid of the
Asiatic Barred Zone, and allotted each Asian country a minimum of 100 visas
annually. However, the law allotted Asian quotas based on race rather than
nationality. This allowed persons of Asian parentage and any nationality to
receive visas under the generic quota for the “Asian Pacific Triangle,”
which ended up limiting Asian immigration.18
1950-1953 Korean War
Many Asian-Americans served in the Korean War, which helped to combat Asian
discrimination in the U.S.
1950’s - 1960’s Asian-Americans elected to Congress
The first Asian-America to be elected to Congroess was Dalip Singh from
California in 1956. Throughout the late 1950’s and 1960’s Asian
discrimination in the U.S. began to recede. In 1962 Daniel K. Inouye, from
Hawaii, was elected to the Senate and Spark Matsunaga, from Hawaii, to the
House. Two years later, Patsy Takemoto Mink, from Hawaii, was elected to the
House, becoming the first Asian-American woman in Congress.19
1965 Immigration and Nationality Act
The 1965 Immigration or Nationality Act, aka the Hart-Cellar Act, abolished
the discriminatory national origins quota system, replacing it with a
preference system that was based on skills and family ties to U.S. citizens
and permanent residents. It established an annual cap of 270,000 immigrants
per year with no more than 20,000 from one country.
1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 allowed undocumented persons
who had resided in the U.S. continuously since January 1, 1982 to apply for
legal status.20
1990 Immigration Act
The Immigration Act of 1990 increased the annual visa cap to 700,000, nearly
tripling it, for the next three years and 675,000 annually for every year
after.22
21st Century Asian-Americans
2012 Asians surpass Hispanics as biggest immigrant group
In 2012, Asians surpassed Hispanics as the largest group of new immigrants
in the U.S. A record 18.2 million Asians were recorded to be living in the U
.S., making them the fastest-growing racial group in the country.
2013 Immigration Reform Bill
In the spring of 2013, comprehensive immigration reform was introduced to
the U.S. Congress. If enacted, the bill will create a DREAM Act for persons
of all ages, thousands of new visa allotments and a path to naturalization
for undocumented persons living in the U.S.

Jim Crow laws were state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the
Southern United States. Enacted after the Reconstruction period, these laws
continued in force until 1965. They mandated de jure racial segregation in
all public facilities in states of the former Confederate States of America,
starting in 1890 with a "separate but equal" status for African Americans.
Facilities for African Americans were consistently inferior and underfunded
compared to those available to European Americans; sometimes they did not
exist at all. This body of law institutionalized a number of economic,
educational, and social disadvantages. De jure segregation mainly applied to
the Southern states, while Northern segregation was generally de facto—
patterns of housing segregation enforced by private covenants, bank lending
practices, and job discrimination, including discriminatory labor union
practices.

Jim Crow laws didn't really apply to Asians originally because there were no
Asians to apply them to. There were a lot of policies drawn up after Asian
immigration became big enough to become a "problem," like the Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882, although most of them were directed at keeping Asians
out rather than discriminating against them (although of course there were
laws preventing them from gaining citizenship or owning land). There has
been a lot of systematic discrimination against Asians (Japanese internment
being the representative example) but it's not talked about as much in
American history books. If you're interested I could find you some articles
or books on the subject. (I only know about Asian Americans, though... that'
s my area of study.)

Hmmm. I'm remembering a case where a black man wasn't permitted to marry a
woman of Asian extraction in a certain Southern state due to her being
classified as "white" by the local authority's interpretation of law.
I would say that the answer to the OP's question is that at least in the
