The book has said a lot about this and how Americans treated the Chinese at the time and their names for the Americans like "White Demons".]]> 2020-10-06 13:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cgoetze/n0tk825066t7vrrs/wish/806482582 poddary https://padlet.com/cgoetze/n0tk825066t7vrrs/wish/806484430 Yathaarth
