Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World Highlight

posted on in: Quote.

In 1982 in Detroit, two white auto-workers made headlines when they beat a young Chinese immigrant named Vincent Chin to death. In January of 1989, a gunman opened fire at a Stockton, California, elementary school, murdering five Cambodian and Vietnamese children and wounding dozens more. These shocking public instances stood for a deeper climate of order-maintaining white violence that crowded the full range between a lawful increase in imprisonment and individual hate crimes.
