Do you really compare what Asians, Irish and Italians experienced to the systematic state-sanctioned discrimination and oppression that Blacks experienced for centuries?

slavery was different (although asians were often conscripted into de facto slavery)

but that was 150 years ago. it's no excuse today

and if we're talking about state-sanctioned discrimination like Jim Crow: yes. they all experienced that

go look up the history of californian jim crow laws. typically based in asian distinctions and not black/white

California Alien Land Law

The Alien Land Laws were invalidated in 1952 by the Supreme Court of California as a violation of the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution in Sei Fujii v. California.

let's not forget Japanese people who were put into internment camps and had their property and assets seized...but hey, slavery.
