Harry Mok: You can thank Chinese Americans for your right to remain silent. Their court cases changed history
"What you may not know is that the Supreme Court’s 1966 Miranda decision cited a 1924 federal court ruling that found a Chinese American man’s murder confession was inadmissible because it was coerced after days of harsh interrogation by Washington, D.C., police."
…
"Preserving the forgotten or little-known role of Chinese Americans in U.S. history is the goal of a volunteer project to scan and digitize the #archives of Chinese business, civic and community organizations on the West Coast led by David Lei, a longtime San Francisco Chinatown activist, and Anna Eng, a historian and lecturer UC Berkeley."

Chinese citizens sue #Florida over #PropertyBuyingBan
A group of Chinese citizens working and living in Florida is challenging a new law that bans them from buying property in the state.
The American Civil Liberties Union (#ACLU), a civil rights group representing the plaintiffs, said the law is unconstitutional and discriminatory.
The ban would also impact #ChineseAmericans, and people of #Asian descent, the suit says.
'Two years after the #rallies and #vigils , #HateCrimes against #AsianAmericans continue. According to the #nonprofit #StopAAPIHate , a total of 10,905 #hate incidents against #Asian #American and #PacificIslanders have been #reported between March of 2020 — when the #pandemic shutdown began — and Dec. 31, 2022. Of those incidents, 69% were against #AsianWomen , with #ChineseAmericans being the most #TargetedGroup .'

2/2. When I was a child my parents explained to me how improper naming was used to subordinate African-Americans. Using 1st names only or "boy" or "uncle" to address mature adults. My parents scrupulously used Mr. or Miss or Mrs. (this was before MS.) or honorifics such as Dr. My marching orders, especially as a child, were to do the same. #titlesmatter #dehumanization #blacklivesmatter Discrimination takes many forms Give names to #ChineseAmericans Give proper titles to #AfricanAmericans
1/2 What's in a name? I've been reading this book. Important in many regards. But one feature stands out for me: the dehumanization of the Chinese who built the Transcontinental RR. They had no names. They were not named in company employment records. They were not named in newspaper accounts of fatal accidents. (10 people were killed. Actual names of 2-3 white people and 10 "chinamen". https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/ghosts-of-gold-mountain-the-epic-story-of-the-chinese-who-built-the-transcontinental-railroad/
