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".

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.

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.

視頻中講到陳嘉庚辦學和新加坡辦南洋大學的事情,華人辦學曆史悠久。編的教材有更多華人故事就更加親近了。
__________________________________________
視頻讓人感慨萬端,華人有今天真不容易。
謝謝你的建議,下麵是兩篇有關華人的文章(分別收在第四和第五冊的書裏)。第七冊可能會考慮陳嘉庚或者晏陽初(Y. C. James Yen)。
