I studied elementary, middle and highschool in México and never knew this.

I always wondered why the 'Traje de China Poblana' I get it now. So interesting. Thank You.

The gunpoint deportations of thousands of Chinese took place in 1931 from the five northern states of Mexico. The US naturally put the poor Chinese in concentration camps in the Southwest and deported many “back” to China, but some Chinese were able to escape (and likely where some of the historic Chinese population in Arizona and the Southwest came from). At the very same moment during the Great Depression that Mexico was deporting Chinese (1930-1933), the United States was engaging in massive racist anti-Mexican roundups and deportations of some 82,000 Mexican and American citizens to scapegoat Mexicans for the massive unemployment caused by Wall Street. A number of states in México also passed anti-miscegenation laws banning inter-marriage between Mexicans and Chinese or Jews, copying the US and the Nazis. This was mainly pushed by a fascist anti-communist movement in Mexico, the "Camisas Doradas" ("Golden Shirts", named after the fascist Blackshirts and Nazi SA Brownshirts.) led by General Nicolás Rodríguez Carrasco, under the slogan: "Mexico for Mexicans,” and calling for “racial purity” of “La Raza” as against the “pollution” of Jews and Chinese. The main anti-Chinese movement was the "Barzón," which was a merchant's association. Most Chinese who fled to Mexico opened market stalls, restaurants and laundries. They became very successful and hated by their Mexican competition. So the anti-Chinese "sentiment" wasn't about racism per se but about fighting over profits during the Great Depression. When the Great Depression exploded in Mexico the rulers unleashed anti-immigrant slander campaigns to scapegoat all "foreigners" for unemployment and economic dislocation and that's a major part of the anti-Chinese campaigns. Afterwards the remaining Chinese population largely dissolved into the general population of Mexico through inter-marriage. Today there are myriad Mexicans with Chinese heritage, like former Minister of Interior, Miguel Ángel Osorio Chong. That's also the case with the Black population of former slaves in northern México, in particular around the mining operations in Guanajuato and Nuevo León. Today you can see many Mexicans with "pelo chino" or curly-haired mulatto descendants of those Africans. And of course there are more than a million Black Mexicans in Veracruz and the “Costa Chica” on the Pacific Coast of Oaxaca and Guerrero states. An even more incredible history of Chinese in Latin America is regarding Cuba, which at one point had more Chinese than in the United States. In fact there is a monument in Cuba to the Chinese who with the Cuban people fought against Spain for independence in 1898, with the motto that, “No hubo un chino cubano desertor. No hubo un chino cubano traidor” (There was not one Chinese Cuban deserter. There was not one Chinese Cuban traitor).’ Of course after the US invaded Cuba, the Southern officers and administrators tried to impose racist segregation against Blacks and Chinese Cubans. Fortunately that was rejected by the Cuban people (except for the white elites who imposed segregation) and the US was forced to leave and grant nominal independence. After the 1959 Cuban Revolution, many Chinese left (mostly afraid of Mao), but four Chinese became generals in the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces, including: Gen. Armando Choy, Gen. Gustavo Chui and Gen. Moisés Sío Wong. The real history of Chinese in the Americas has yet to be written.

The southwest is Hispanic! It belongs to our Hispanic people! May God bless all Hispanic people and the Catholic Church! ✝️

Somehow my TH-cam feed landed me here!!?? Recently, I'm trying to court a beautiful gal from Mexico and I'm Chinese heritage. Fate/destiny perhaps?? Definitely Crazy.

Biden Harris poster in the background. How academic.

As a Canadian Filipino, coming across this video to continually learn about my Filipino roots, I appreciate your recognition of the Filipino people.

Indian Ships were 20 times the European Ships & vasco da gama a Portugal sailor writes in his records

The ethnic group that built the transcontinental railway is now building BRI.

Galleons were entirely propelled by sails. They were built for war in which they replaced galley ships from where they got their name.

You said Lincoln did the transconintental railroad, but he had been killed years before that first transconintental line had been completed. Considering how George Washington, with his rag-tag poverty ridden army was able to beat the world's most powerful and skilled military force, I would said God helped this nation to prevail for an intended purpose. For this reason, it is understandable that the people would feel there is a manifest destiny to this new nation. Know doubt the Chinese, Asians, and Mexicans have contributed a great deal.

Amen💖💖💖💖💖!..

I would tell people about the dark and hateful parts I’ve read about like the murders of hundreds of Chinos and expulsions of them through the years and would be met with disbelief. Thankfully to video and fearless academics like this teacher willing to tell these dark parts of history in the hopes that younger generations will stop repeating it.

Beautifully told Thank You. I truly loved it!

that Masacre of Innocent Chinese Mexicans was one of the Stupidest Decisions by that Crazy Mexican Revolutionary!!! cause if he would ve looked in the MIRROR MOst Native Mexicans Mayans,Aztecs they look Oriental Not Spaniards!!!

Thank you, for this information. I had no idea. ❤

The Chinese also sent canabis to the new world.

Self hate, runs deep in Mexican society.

This Delusional Woman is calling the Philippines part of Mexico!! People here blindly believing what this delusional woman is saying Lol 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for this lecture! Amazing! 🫶🏻😄

I appreciate that this story is being told and should be told. I'm Mexican and from a small town in the valley of Mexicali, most of the towns here were train stations and some kept their names. My town "Estacion Cuervos" now Ciudad Morelos, had many Chinese residents, they were responsible for all of the business and created the local economy here. I married a Chinese descendant, her Grandfather didn't even speak Spanish only Chinese, there's still a couple of descendants in my town with Chinese last names. I was very sad when I learned for the first time how they were treated and overthrown. They lost all and yes, some were killed, in school in Mexico we were never told this story, they only tell us about how Lazaro Cardenas got Mexican's back their land, they didn't even say from who. Chinese did great things for our border cities, Los Algodones a town that even has the main street named after a Chinese businessman Mariano Ma Lee. The culture that they brought can be seen in Mexicali BC and the food they created is the best Chinese food that I've ever tasted! You can look that up.

Astounding History.I did not know about it. By the way I`m from Mexico.

Makes so much sense why my Mexican co-workers have the last name Chan Xiu

God, thank you for deliverance from slavery and slave traders of every nation, tribe, tongue and people. Thank you for deliverance from evil. Thank you for defeating every lie that ever existed against Christianity and Christ in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray for salvations and missions and for the saints to get through and for all people to be saved In Jesus mighty name. Amen 🙏 Thank you God for angels. Thank you for their help everyday. Thank you for your mighty hand of deliverance and for your determination to set the captives free. Everyday. Every second. Amen 🙏

Learned something new, "Katchup" is originated from Chinese.

Extraordinary! Thanks

this esteemed professor is only telling the not-so-distant history of the MEX-China relationship. can we go back to something FAR closer to the beginning of the story--as archeology has been able to uncover thus far. the mongolians and chinese walked to the "americas" millions of years ago. the larger # of indigenous people are of chinese and mongolian decent. countries and nationalities are irrelevant. nationalities are not in our dna. the other indigenous groups that were already in the "americas" were africans, along w/ some sparse caucasions who mostly came and went. therefore, the ancestor of most native "american" people are the chinese and mongolians.

This isn't a good level of history. It's more like someone who read a few books and twists the story to fit a narrative.

I grew up in the mining district just East of Silver City, NM, USA there we a couple of families that had some Chinese ancestry. Also one of my taking points is that Native Americans were the first wave of Chinese to enter the Western Hemisphere. Beautiful information that makes us all a little bit closer and today we need that!

ITS ALL TRUE, IVE KNOWN FOR ABOUT 25- 30 YEARS.. MY GRANDFATHER TOLD MY FATHER. FROM MY GREAT GRAND MOTHER, TO MY GRAND DATHER, TO MY FATHER WHO IS ALMOST 90, I'll be 60. Them 3 AMONG OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS LOOK ASIAN/ CHINESE. ME I LOOK MORE SPANISH/ MEXICAN BUT ON MY FATHER SIDE MORE MEXICAN/ ASIAN... PLUS I SAW THE HISTORY IN NATIONAL GEO... THEY DID A DOCUMENTARY ON CHINESE SETTELING IN MEXICO 🇲🇽.. XOXO

This lady is the best historian I ever seen in all the videos I have approached for history information. The so ! Called 🇺🇸 historians, don’t whiny to talk about all this part of history.

I’m Mexicana con una gran admiración por la cultura China , Japonesa, y coreana . Aunque mi mayor conectividad en general es el Chinatown en la ciudad de los ángeles California. Una ves por mes me pasó un fin de semana en convivió con Chinatown, Coria town, y de los japoneses solo compro automóviles 🚙 Japoneses. Son la cultura tan anciana como la cultura mexicana 💯%.

This is crazy, how is this not the third uprising where people who didn't get paid to go to work successfully rebelled? So neat. Mexico had ended that by 1901, right? If they end that before they make you rejoin, that sounds pretty successful to me. How is this not taught, next to the Mamluks and Haiti?

Just a little bit more of Mexicali's history. At one time over 30,000 Chinese lived in Mexicali. The largest population of Chinese in the Western Hemisphere at the time. This growth was because of the Chinese Exclusion act of 1882. However as Southern California was becoming a huge population center, it needed more water. So the capitalists such as Stanford, Hopkins, etc. Came up with the idea to recruit the Chinese in Mexico to help build the Colorado canals.However after finishing the project all were sent back to Mexicali. Today, the Chinese in Mexicali have assimilated well with many shops and businesses. Over 100 Chinese resturants are now in Mexicali. The Mexicans enjoy the Chinese cuisine a lot.

May all those wrongs be made right 🙏

I would have loved history when I was in school if I had a teacher like you❣️

I just met one Chinese Mexican man this year. He went to China for a visit , met hi ancestors . Thiss is so interesting. She he ne.

A excellent history class, hoping people in the rest of of the world watch this video and educate and learn from it.

Sorry, your poster in the background turned me off........ it would have been a very good subject?

If we were not taught this in school it’s because those in power kept us from truth. Their influence on serious well respected publishers shows a coordinated effort. Virginia Foxx spoke recently on corruption in our top universities. They want us to fall behind. My question is don’t These forces have ties to all democrats ? That’s where the money is. I believe all this lady is saying but Biden and Harris are not the most honest in fact they have done a lot of damage. It irks me to see that poster in the back. I love all people including white people. What I’ve seen happen since this video was released is a disgraceful dangerous movement that includes erasing history as WE KNOW it. Why so much deception ?

Mexico and Asia in general are very close same with El Salvador same thing with Indians in Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago or south East Asians in Suriname and French Guinea or the Lebanese and Europeans in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Venezuela or Africans in Panama, Belize, Jamaica, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Cuba. Places either the highest indigenous more deep and older Asian descent originating from Early immigration from Asia to the Americas either by sea or land bridges connecting Asia to the Americas due to continental differences and the ice age are Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Ecuador mainly you see in the South American andes and Amazon rainforest due to sparse migration of Europeans and Slaves because largely unexplored or unliveable.

Omg I think we r also of Chinese haritage. We have to b look even our ants and uncles. Moma always said! It was quite obvious to her that we were. Look how short we all r. But Chinese r very smart

El bisabuelo de mi esposo de nombre josé Arzave junto con un vecino de origen italiano durante la revolución salvaron a más de 200 chinos escondiéndolos para que no fueran masacrados en Torreón

🤲👑🤲 Sharing🫂thankYOU...Chicago, IL.

Absolutely Fascinating, Thank you for sharing :)

33:33 this is one of the most fascinating lectures. I’ve heard in a long time.

The tomatoes are mexican

Am so glad i found this channel. It give me great joy and privilege to be born in this era in time. Thank you for sharing.

What an amazing story teller! History is fascinating and can be brought to life when recounted by someone with so much knowledge and passion like Professor Evelyn Hu-Dehart. Great job!

Just a correction, the fist Chinese to reach Mexico were a group of Buddhist monks in the 5th Century a.C. led by the monk Hui Shang. He called Mexico "Fusang". The Chinese recorded this voyage in the book of Liang.
