 In Espiritu's "All Men Are Not Created Equal: Asian Men In U.S. History" he speak's about how the Asian people were treated when they were brought over. Before reading this article i did not realize how the Asian community was treated. When you think of segregation you tend to think of African American's and how they were treated you never think about how the Asian community was treated. Although treated different than slaves they were still broken down mentally by the White race. For instance the jobs they were given the Asian people are a proud race and when they were brought over to the U.S. they were given lesser jobs they were doing house work, laundry and house maids. these jobs beat down the will of the people and then once they wee detained in the camps during the war, they lost all their property unlike the African Americans who had nothing because they were slaves but the Asians had worked hard for their property and then to just have it ripped away put many into depression. I feel there treatment is not spoken about as much as the African Americans but there treatment was just as bad.
