The Philippines War is probably the most forgotten war. Most people are never taught that the Philippines had a war of independence FROM the United States.
The irony of excluding immigrants from a country made up exclusively of immigrants... Well immigrants, kidnapped people, and victims of a genocidal war over centuries.
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.
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.
With close to Zero Koreans in the show... They also cut out the whole must make Koreans appear white part of the "Doctor's" part of the show in the form of plastic surgery...
1st wave . . . famine and political turmoil? That’s it? More depth please. Why famine and what was the political turmoil all about? Parties involved, etc.
South korea was under a military dictatorship under park chung hee from 1961. While he developed the economy, south korea was literally the poorest country in the world before the coup... he was cut off south korea from the outside world like how north korea continues to do.
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.
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.
Also, Stalin was the main backer of North Korea - arming and training their army. China intervened in the war (with the urging of Stalin) for their own reasons, to protect their own national security, but I don’t think they had any particular affinity for the North Koreans at the time.
@@ChrisFarrell You're forgetting that for the U.S. this was a war fought for the capitalists against socialism: the one thing capitalists fear. The egalitarianism and democratic justice intrinsic to socialism when combined with a democratic rule (the only way socialism can exist as it's essentially democracy in the workplace), naturally counters the intrinsic greed and authoritarian nature of capitalism. _"but I don’t think they had any particular affinity for the North Koreans at the time."_ Very true. No country did, not China, not the USSR, nor the U.S. It was always all about the money and power for each of these countries. Many if not most of the wars fought in the 1-th century were capitalists trying to stop countries from gaining socialism and democracy. That's why we keep destroying countries in South and Central America. So instead of ending up with a democratic socialist nation and a unified Korea, we allowed an authoritarian "socialist" to take over the north. Strangely this is almost always what happens when the U.S. intervenes: an authoritarian takes power. The U.S. just saved capitalism in S. Korea, by helping the USSR and China (who both wanted an authoritarian too, but a "socialist" Korea) destroy North Koreans chances for democracy, by refusing to let them choose socialism and democracy. Witch frankly is the only solution that can bring about lasting peace because it focuses on all of their people, not just the wealthy. The average person really needs to understand that capitalism and socialism are *only* forms of wealth distribution. They are *not* forms of ruling a populace. Forms of rule range from democracy (rule by The People) and authoritarianism (rule by one or a few, typically the wealthy elite). Democracy is the closest such an irresponsible and immature species as humans can get to freedom. True freedom is responsible anarchy, but cannot exist without great personal responsibility from the overwhelming majority of humanity. And authoritarianism of any kind is anti-freedom.
@@ChrisFarrell Why did the PRC intervene in Korea? The PRC wanted to preserve a North Korean Communist State, but not to dominate it. Instead, the PRC wanted North Korea to serve as a buffer between Manchuria and the US-dominated South Korea.
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.
whoever wrote this is not an educator clearly and does not look at a more multifaceted view. look at all the throughlines. it's not as easy as just push and pull factors... also who decided this was a good intro line? "The Korean Community has endured more famine and exclusion to make it in this country" - whoever wrote this line is clearly not an educator. WRONG approach. and you can't make such blanketed generalizations.
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

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?
1- the did list the bill LBJ signed which opened immigration.
But, the bigger wave didn't until the '70s. And, then the following decades.
