I feel like the Phillipines war is more forgotten than Korean war. Ok, it's not a contest. It's good to learn about each

The irony of excluding immigrants by descendants of colonisers.

Kinda missed the biggest wave which was the late '70s-00s. No idea why or how, but that seems like when the numbers exploded.

The 1st phase of immigration in Hawaii is over simplified. Early Asian immigrants in Hawaii, were the Chinese. Those workers were sojourners, workers expecting to make their wealth and return home to the country. Because they were male workers, some sought female companionship and ended up marrying into Hawaiian families, which enabled them access to land, leaving the plantations. Others brought in Chinese females for marriage, establishing families, leaving the plantation. Japanese laborers were brought in, same thing occurred. Males coming, realizing it would take a long time, sought brides from the Japan, which plantations found stability & more workforce. Korean immigrants were brought in, with the same occurrence of Korean picture brides arriving later to establish the Korean community in Hawaii. Mentioning discrimination of the Koreans in Hawaii might be misleading since earlier migrations of Chinese and Japanese preceeded the Korean immigration, so the discrimination of Asians would not have been any more or less than the Chinese or Japanese in Hawaii. Also census records indicate that Chinese population of those periods indicates that both the Chinese and Korean population sizes were a small percentage of Asian and equal sized to each other, whereas the Japanese immigration was a bigger inflow of workers and families for a significant period of time was a majority of population in Hawaii. I think one area that might be overlooked is while WWII occurred with the Nisei (second generation American born Japanese) having loyalty in questioned, gained recognition of the accomplishments of the 100th & 442nd units composed of all-NISEI soldiers. The 100th was formulated from the Hawaii Territorial Guard members in Hawaii, taking all the unit and NISEI enlisted. Those non-NISEI members were dispersed to other units in the Army, including if they were American born Koreans, which I know my uncle was one of them. It was odd, because, at the outbreak of WWII, Korea was under Japanese control after 1910. Technically, with Pearl Harbor, forming of the 100th of NISEI, Korean American born weren't considered to be Japanese and weren't included in the 100th & 442nd, however, the records of members of the 442 was a Korean officer. No other Korean was in either unit or on the books, although, its odd that when the end of the war, when the veterans returned and were discharged from their service, my uncle was released by that Korean officer of the 442/100th. It is rather odd that was released from the unit officer, although he was transferred out of the 100th and not a member of the 100th/442nd. It is also known that the Syngman Rhee spent a few years in Hawaii in the pre War Years.

Thank you for sharing this information.

My mom and I moved to the US, in 1968, after North Korea captured the USS Pueblo. My dad joined us after his tour in Vietnam.

Awesome thanks

My dad himself said in the korean war .He had many women ..If someone knocks on my door and says your dad is my father. My dad said let them in.

I have been married to a Korean woman for over 40 years. We have experienced insensitivity, but no hate.

I used to watch M*A*S*H a whole bunch, which is set in Korea during the war (even though it was an allegory for Vietnam). While it's a dramedy and isn't entirely accurate, it does give you an idea of the G.I.'s perspective during the conflict. Well, the doctor's at least.

Korea was already split once the Japanese left, the North attempted to re-unify the Korean peninsula through means of war with the end result still being a split Korea. Rather odd to leave out that caveat.

I find it weird in your presentation of pre-WW2 migration the push factor was brutal colonization by Japanese in Korea is what disenfranchised Koreans in the first place. I get you wanna paint the US as the racist bad guy, but you're not presenting history correctly by not even mentioning that. Everyone is my parents' and grandparents' generations are traumatized by Japanese colonization and that's ignorant that you don't even understand that as the bigger part of Korean history.

Isn't it weird that this video doesn't address what was happening in South Korea post 1953, and why did they immigrated more between 1960-1980?

To quote Max Klinger: "I married a Korean girl, a lovely girl...EVA BRAUN would get nicer looks!"

And then there's the post war American Army bases soldiers marrying Korean women wave 😂 jk, source, my dad was a soldier in Korea and married my mom, who had been a war orphan.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you for this information. I wonder how we can grow knowing the racism of many Korean businesses in the Black community. It was a Korean woman who shot a child in the back that started one of L. A.'s riots. The Rodney King verdict was just the last straw. Latasha Harlins (January 1, 1976 - March 16, 1991) was an African-American girl who was fatally shot at age 15 by Soon Ja Du (Korean: 두순자), a 49-year-old Korean-American convenience store owner. Du was tried and convicted of voluntary manslaughter over the killing of Harlins, based in part on security camera footage. The judge sentenced Du to 10 years in state prison but the sentence was suspended and the defendant was instead placed on five years' probation with 400 hours of community service, a $500 restitution, and funeral expenses. Now I know these business owners didn't come all the way from another country just to kill and exploit other people. They had to learn an attitude from someone. The same someone who thought it was a good idea not to send a murderer to jail. Look behind the curtain to see who is really causing hatred. I would like to see the Korean community have a day like Cinco de Mayo where ALL people are invited in the neighborhood where they have their businesses. Get to know the people who buy your products. 😢 Heal

Michelle Steel is a no though.

Under Biden admin.has it got better???
