If East Asians are the model minority, why was America so racist against Chinese and Japanese immigrants through the 19th century and much of the 20th century

because they arent a model minority, especially werent in past times
today you simply have a lot of migration from the more wealthy and higher iq less violent and less prone to stealing asians given the benefits of living in a white country which gives an appearance of a "model minority" since ~3% of blacks commit 60% of the violent crime, lowering the bar into the ground

It's because after a ninja killed their immediate family, they bumped into a young master who exterminated their nine generations.

Because they're fucking racists? Come on, man. Racists don't really care about 'good behaviour' or 'integration' or whatever, in the end they just hate anyone who doesn't look exactly like them.

Japs were described as monopolistic and underhanded. In the case of things like pig farms they out competed all the small pig farmers by cramping the pigs into unhygienic cages to maximize output leading to claims of animal cruelty. This resulted in them taking over pig farming in the cities they inhabited. What also played into this were japanese businesses, like restaurants and bathhouses, only using Japanese pork

East asians were widely seen as dirty barbaric people before the 20th century. The model minority view came up a a few decades ago.
>>
>>17976683
Because they were foreigners with unknown allegiances and they were theoretically capable of outnumbering white settlers on the Pacific coast. A key part of being a model minority is being a minority
>>
>>17976683
Model minorities don't exist. It's just an abstract invented in the 19th century to argue against keeping niggers, Irish, and Italians in America. You pretend there's some minority within a minority that make good citizens and then you can do whatever you want to the rest including beating their asses and throwing them in a paddy wagon.

The term "model minority" only refers to Chinese Americans who actually achieved something great, which is only a few. The Chinese Exclusion Act was still one of the most based things the US has ever done.

1. that image is fake

2. everyone was racist to everyone in the 18th and 19th century. free movement of masses of peoples has only been a thing for less than 100 years.

Model minority iself is a racist concept. It's like Honorary Aryans
>>
>>17976683
Because model minority was just a tool to try to divide minorities, and stop support for minority rights which was being championed by blacks.

No such thing as model minority. Only a pure society is acceptable. If people must interlope it should be done calmly and reasonably until separation is negotiated by the two parties. Only Asians and Whites can conduct this procedure reasonably.

>>17976683
>model minority
What's that? another leftie neologism?

The thing with chinese (mostly - japan still had pretty much closed borders at the time, and that one samurai colony in florida didn't have much influence) immigrants was that just like latinos today, they came from a much lower standard of living, so they were willing to work for far less pay. As a result, companies preferred hiring them over irish and germans, just like they already preferred hiring irish and germans over coddled americans (which, btw, is why a few years earlier, the irish and germans were just as heavily discriminated against). Classic "they took eerr jebs!" situation.
Things only improved once asians became used to the higher western standard of living and started demanding the same wages.

BTW, in most cases, you can reduce racism down to one of two patterns:
>they threaten our jobs (by working cheaper for the same work as chinks did back then, or doing more work for the same pay as indians do today)
>they threaten our safety (by being criminals, generally, or by being suspected of being enemy spies like germans and japanese in america, or jews in germany)
If you can remove those sources, even legitimate racism (lower IQ etc) won't lead to discrimination. For example, if you look at Japan, one of the most racist countries you can imagine, whites and natives on okinawa are heavily discriminated against (whites bcs they look like the americans raping kids there, natives bcs they sided with the americans repeatedly). But go to hokkaido, where the native ainu are much more similar to the natives of okinawa than to regular japanese, and there's almost no discrimination, and whites there even experience some positive discrimination.

>>17976683
That never happened. Asians pretend like they were oppressed like black americans in order to get brownie points. The chinese exclusion act for example was just nativist immigration policy and there still existed exemptions. Japanese internment camps? They were at war. Same shit happened to Germans in both wars.

It's like how leftists say immigration enforcement today is literally genocide against hispanics. It's all nonsense.

>just a tool
you wish rashan. I describes a very real phenomenon ie people who can move into a foreign culture and be a net positive to that society. Something niggers can never seem to do no matter where they go
>>
>>17976683
Because that narrative only started in reaction to black civil rights. The idea only got popular after the Civil Rights Act, and it was basically a way to blame black people for still underachieving, even though they were no longer second-class citizens.

Generally, during the 19th and early 20th century, blacks were the closest thing to a "model minority", as in it was accepted that they were part of society as long as they "knew their place" i.e. live in segregation and don't aspire to be equal to whites, which was codified in law. By contrast, Asians (also Hispanics to a degree) were seen as a completely foreign threat, and that led to things like the Chinese Exclusion Act (but also economy trumps racism so at other times Asian workers were hired en masse in the west to build stuff during labor shortages).

Also, racism is very fluid, like Qing China was seen as an evil barbaric culture, but then people like Sun Yat-sen were beloved and got support in the US because he was a Christian, didn't wear a stupid Queue and talked about wanting to promote western-style democracy in China. So that white man's burden, bring civilization to the savages mentality was real. That Chinese republican movement helped the Chinese's reputation a lot, this was when orientalism started to become popular in the US. The original KKK logo in the '10s and '20 had a yin-yang symbol in the center, it only transformed later into a blood drop.

The model minority thing pretty much comes from a few successful families and the fact that Asian-Americans don't have a large underclass (pretty much only blacks and whites have that in the US, and Hispanics recently).
>>
>>17976683
The east asian migrants who came over to the US were incredibly decadant and degenerate, they were basically like other races that are looked down on today. They brought drugs, prostitution, racketeering, human trafficking, and so on. Eventually they started targeting Americans in these activities, they had to go.
>>
For stealing jobs o algo because "they would do the same work for half the pay".

Same thing they say with Latinos tbqh..
