Why Trump is making Muslims the new Chinese
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/30/opinions/muslims-are-new-chinese-ngai-opinion/index.html
The Chinese have the dubious distinction of being the only group to be
excluded from the United States explicitly by name.
Sixty years of Chinese Exclusion, which lasted from 1882 to 1943, imposed
myriad harms on Chinese people. Chinese laborers could not immigrate and no
Chinese could obtain naturalized citizenship. Chinese who sought entry into
the United States, such as citizens and merchants exempted from the
exclusion laws, faced extreme interrogation upon arrival, mostly aimed at
detecting fraudulent identity claims. Americans now consider Chinese
Exclusion to be a blight on the nation's history and believe that we are --
or should be -- past such blatant racial discrimination.
