The Alien Land Law was only one of a LONG LIST of racist laws and ordinances passed against Asian Americans, including the Chinese in CA & in SF beginning in 1858.

See: https://shec.ashp.cuny.edu/items/show/870

This list does not include the incidious federal "Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882" which was not repealed until 1943 -- 161 years after it was 1st adopted. CA previously passed it's own "Chinese Exclusion Act" in 1858 which was ruled unconstitutional under CA state law in 1862.

The federal Chinese Exclusion Act was proposed and adopted largely due to the support and influence of racist CA politicians and business men, who having failed to achieve their goal under CA law, sought to and were succesful doing so at the federal level.

🐷 Cackalacky Fascism Today | The #NC #GOP-controlled #SupremeCourt says its earlier rulings (under a Dem majority) were "pure politickin'" and reverses decisions on gerrymandering ("Sure! Y'all go ahead, legislature!") and the #VoterID law— for "The People of North Carolina...." 👌

Hogshit.
