The treatment of Japanese and Chinese workers during the late 1800's was harsh, and unnecessary. Look at this pic, from records of the Mt. Eden Cemetery. Although the name of the German and Dutch Families appear as their own, the Chinese are called "Chinamen" here, and are listed under that! this shows the deep ties to hate that have been a vital part of Bay Area history. Now that's interisting!Also notice that a majority of these bodies have been removed from the cemetery...maybe to make room? who knows....
