Raymond, re:"You're the best joke on the thread." LOL! Talking about a pot calling the kettle black! Does your history book mention the anti asian history of the West Coast Labor Movement? "true credit for the agitation against Oriental Immigration should go where it belongs -- to the pioneers of the trade union movement in San Francisco, Dennis Kearney, Frank Rooney, John O. Walsh, John I. Nolan, and many others of that day who in and out of season preached the gospel of exclusion of Orientals." --Proceedings of the Forty-third Annual Convention of the California State Federation of Labor, Long Beach, California, September 21-25, 1942, p. 226. In 1903, Japanese and Mexican American farm workers cooperated together to participate in one of the country's first farm workers' strikes and formed a multiracial union of farm workers. When Samuel Gompers based their membership with the American Federation of Labor on the exclusion of the Japanese workers, they remained an independent union. --Asian American Labor History and APALA
