  • San Francisco's labor mayor, the Hon. Eugene E. Schmitz,
  • "The Japanese are far more dangerous to us than the Chinese,"
  • Japs are to be feared more than the Chinese, primarily because of the cheapness of their labor.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Where a Chinese will work upon a farm at starvation wages, a Japanese has the ability to acquire the property itself. The Chinese are dangerous enough, but the Japanese would drive all competition out of business. It is the stern duty of the American citizen, and particularly of those of us upon this western coast, to scrutinise this evil and then suppress it with appropriate legislation."
  • "I would sooner see the bars of civilization let down on this western borderland to the heathen Chinese, and meet all of the grave dangers incidental to their coming, than to witness an unrestricted Japanese immigration, fraught with the many great evils that would at once beset our industrial welfare if the brown toilers of the mikado's realm were permitted to swarm through our gates unhindered."

      See how the mayor of San Francisco compares Chinese to Japanese. Also "mikado's realm" refers to Japan.

    This newspaper article gives you a good idea about US attitudes about Japanese workers in San Francisco in 1900, 42 years before internment.

Alien Land Law Japanese

shared by Michael Eppolito on 17 Dec 09 - Cached
  • “race” was legally constructed along a white-nonwhite binary, with Chinese immigrants categorized as “nonwhites.”

      If you are not white you cannot own land. This was particularly aimed at Chinese and Japanese
  • This anti-Chinese racism was easily transferred to Japanese agricultural workers, who began entering the country in increasing numbers after 1890.
  • Japanese agricultural laborers were classified as “nonwhite,” and they were therefore barred from becoming U.S. citizens
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Their success in agriculture was held against them, however: White farmers viewed them as unfair competitors because entire Japanese families would work their farms and save labor costs.
  • “Alien Land Law”
  • passed by the California legislature in 1913. The law granted aliens eligible for U.S. citizenship plenary property ownership rights but limited “aliens ineligible to citizenship”

      This says that only immigrants who could become citizens could own land. Since Japanese could not become citizens they could not own land.
  • This legal sanction was a response to the economic success of Japanese truck farmers in California in the early twentieth century.
  • Despite the 1913 law, Japanese land holdings increased.
  • Private ownership of land occupies a central position in American law
  • 1859 Oregon Constitution, which declared that no “Chinaman” could ever own land in Oregon.

    Read this article and think about why white farmers would want Japanese farmers removed from the west coast. What search terms might you use to explore this conflict more deeply?

    This is a good article to use in your poster work.
