I agree. Even facts depend on how people look at them.
Simply observing something may change its measurement results.

Sad to see the new Silicon Valley generation don't care much about earlier Chinese history in US. My grandfather was a "paper son" and he came in the turn of 20th Century in the middle of "Chinese Exclusion Act".

回复7grizzly的评论:
I am talking about facts. Facts in history and in reality. Emotional fact is still a fact. Emotion or not depends on different peoples with different perceptions.
Through facts and reasons, Chinese pioneers in American history should be recognized just as European Pioneers did.

回复唵啊吽的评论:
I knew this would come up.
To fix a problem, I don't want to be emotionally involved. Emotion clouds judgements. There have been so many examples throughout history how a group's emotion was taken advantage of to arrive at the exact opposite of what the individuals desired.
As for courage, I think Gandhi's style is smarter.
In a sense we come here to take people's jobs away. The big four in the railroad era were the absolute beneficiaries. The Chinese benefited to some degree. And there were the absolute losers, deserved or not, who could vote. What do you think the last group was going to do, given the situation and their average intellect?
If I were a white in those days, I might have done the same against the ``invading'' Chinese.
Of course, theirs were a losing game--they were against ideas of giants, e.g., Adam Smith, etc. But that's another story.

视频中讲到陈嘉庚办学和新加坡办南洋大学的事情,华人办学历史悠久。编的教材有更多华人故事就更加亲近了。
__________________________________________
视频让人感慨万端,华人有今天真不容易。
谢谢你的建议,下面是两篇有关华人的文章(分别收在第四和第五册的书里)。第七册可能会考虑陈嘉庚或者晏阳初(Y. C. James Yen)。
