Canada's Discrimination of Chinese

In Jan Wong's Red China Blues, the author wrote briefly about Canada's discrimination of Chinese during the first half of the last century.

As Wong wrote: "When my uncle was a little boy in Victoria, British Columbia, people pelted him with lumps of coal and taunted "Ching Chong Chinamen, washee my pants."

"The nursing school in London, Ontario, where my mother was the first Chinese-Canadian graduate, rejected an earlier applicant with this remark: "A sick person doesn't want to look up and see a yellow face."

"Ottawa stripped my aunt, the third Chinese-Canadian woman in Canada to earn a medical degree, of her citizenship in the 1940s when she married a Chinese."
