I agree, but also I am not surprised. If we think about how early Americans justified what they did tot he Native Americans, taking their land, killing them, forcing them to move from the land of their ancestors, just because in their eyes they were not human enough or civilized. Therefore, I am not surprised that the Chinese soldiers were treated that way, and denied naturalization. Also, how the southerners, justified slavery by calling it the "peculiar institution" and based it on the color of their skin. It is sad and embarrassing to admit that our government has a history of discrimination towards other races who doesn't fir the mold.
