July 1, 1923, Canada welcomed white #immigrants & shunned #POC - mostly #Asian & #Chinese immigrants.
As #Canadians celebrated opportunities #Canada provided - #ChineseImmigrationAct 1923, came into effect.
It applied to Chinese nationals & people of Chinese descent who were British citizens. Predating #draconian #apartheid laws of South Africa by 25 yrs.

In 2022, on the 100th anniversary, the #GreaterVictoriaSchoolDistrict issued an #apology for this & the #ChineseCommunity marched to #commemorate the actions of students who walked out in protest of the segregation.

Each year on Canada Day, Betty organized a family reunion at her parent’s gravesite in Toronto. She wanted the family to pay respects to her father, who first arrived in 1911, and her mother, who arrived in 1920.

Yeah, this is the most fucked-up part of gun control history. But then - just how much US legislation was brought *specifically* to hurt / murder #BIPOC ?
I only found out about this fuckery a few years ago : https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Chinese_Exclusion_Act
And that it was law for 61 years!
