After All It Depends Upon Who Owns the Ox
On the Pacific Coast there is an intense hostility to the yellow man.
The whites are at daggers’ point with Chinamen and Japanese.
Race hatred, you see.
Recently, the authorities of San Francisco have separated the two races in the schools.
Jap. children are not allowed in the white schools. Yellow must not mix with white. Contact is contaminating. Separate class-rooms, separate play-grounds, separate everything—so runs the educational order of the day.
Yet those white people of the Pacific Coast pretend that they cannot understand the attitude of the Southern whites to the negro.
It is all right for THEM to cultivate race-hatred of the yellow man, but all wrong for US to indulge race-hatred of the black man.
Queer kettle of fish, isn’t it?
NO MATTER WHICH ONE DOES THE CLIPPING, THE WOOL HEAP GETS IT JUST THE SAME.
