Dennis Kearney, 1847-1907
This is Dennis (Denis) Kearney. He was from California. He hated Chinese people. He was responsible for passing multiple anti-Chinese public policies. He also started the California Working Men's Party, which is a decent example of racist division within labor movements.
The following quotes demonstrate the vast goodwill, compassion, and anti-racist sentiments of Kearney:
"California must be all American or all Chinese. We are resolved that it shall be American, and are prepared to make it so. May we not rely upon your sympathy and assistance?"
"I am a young man just turning 43, - chock full of vitality, and a great deal of experience: while I may not be able to set the world afire, I am in hopes of living long enough to see the Asiatic hordes excluded from this continent from Cape Horn to Icy Cape."
"It rakes the slums of Asia to find the meanest slave on earth - the Chinese coolie - and imports him here to meet the free American in the Labor market, and still further widen the breach between the rich and the poor, still further to degrade white Labor."
"My next fight will be to get Canada to pass an Anti-Chinese Exclusion Law. At present she is being made the dumping ground for Asiatic pests who are afterwards smuggled into our country."
"The Chinese are wipped curs, abject in docility, mean, contemptible and obedient in all things. They have no wives, children or dependents."
"The father of a family is met by them at every turn. Would he get work for himself? Ah! A stout Chinaman does it cheaper."
"These cheap slaves fill every place. Their dress is scant and cheap. Their food is rice from China. They hedge twenty in a room, ten by ten."
"They are imported by companies, controlled as serfs, worked like slaves, and at last go back to China with all their earnings. They are in every place, they seem to have no sex. Boys work, girls work; it is all alike to them."
If I had a time machine, I totally would go back in time and call him on his shit!
I like how the U.S. totally imported Chinese slave labor, practically worked them to death on the transcontinental railroad, but then complained about how dirty and morally bankrupt they were. WTF.
