[Event] The West

[dragon106]

I don’t wanna ruin some great role playing but you guys are acting like there were just 1000 of chinese people in America in 1894, yes there was China-Town in San Fran but let’s be real here 99% of white westerners would not have ever seen an Asian person before. I think if we truly role play how it was in 1894 there should be a lot of racism towards the asians in the town. As if they were treated the same it just wouldn’t adhere to the history of the country at that time. I just don’t see it historically accurate to have Asians in this western role play, but obviously it’s your choice how you wish to spend your time in this wonderful event.

there were a couple thousand Chinese in the west at the time due to the Transcontinental Railroad (90% of the workers were Chinese). Around this date, more started moving out of California due to anti-Chinese sentiment. I do agree that a large population were white and that Asians were very rare, but they did exist.
