The Worst Asian Hate Attacks Against Filipinos in American History

For five days, from January 19 to 23, 1930, Filipinos fell victim to harassment, physical abuse, and theft by angry mobs of young white men who believed that the new migrants were stealing their jobs and women. The Watsonville Riots eventually led to the death of a Filipino farmer, Fermin Tobera. What ignited the attacks? Watch to find out more.

    My grandparents, my dad, uncles, and aunts were the second generation to work in Watsonville, Salinas, Washington state, and Alaska in the 1950s. They worked the farms and fish cannery. My grandfather was also in the U.S. Army based at Fort Ord in Seaside California. My uncles and aunts married white, black, Mexican, and Filipinos.I have mixed and pure Pilipino cousins.

Ceaser Chavez knew it was Filipinos & Mexicans who stuck together and faught against white supremacy. That's why he changed the movements name. We Hispanics took a huge participation in that aswell, for the record.With out us the whites would have took over again tbh. Look at it now Watsonvilles population is pure Hispanic.

    1:08 The Filipinos US national? I think this is not true. During the colonial period 1898 to 1935 and the common wealth period 1935 to 1946 Filipinos were never referred to as Americans or American nationals. We had always been referred to as Filipinos never as Americans. Which was an improvement to the Spanish Colonizers term for us, Indios. My grandfather went to Hawaii as a sakada for the sugar plantation in the late 1920's. He was under a working visa or permit arrangement. Only those who stayed would later become US citizen but not those who are living in the Philippines and just come to USA for a year or so.

    Under Article IX of the Treaty of Paris, people born in the Philippines were deemed U.S. (non-citizen) nationals as of April 11, 1899. The Philippines as a US territory allowed Filipinos to live and work freely in the United States but as a US national not a US citizen. By July 4, 1946 when the Philippines gained independence, Filipinos residing in the US lost their status as US nationals.
