He locates the origins of west coast racism in the frustrated vision of a white British Columbia and an unshakeable belief in the unassimilability of the Asian immigrant. Canadian attitudes were dominated by a series of interlocking, hostile stereotypes derived from western perceptions of Asia and modified by the encounter between whites and Asians on the north Pacific coast. Public pressure on local, provincial, and federal governments led to discriminatory policies in the field of immigration and employment, and culminated in the forced relocation of west coast Japanese residents during World War II.McGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history ;8.ChineseBritish ColumbiaPublic opinionJapaneseBritish ColumbiaPublic opinionEast IndiansBritish ColumbiaPublic opinionPublic opinionBritish ColumbiaBritish ColumbiaRace relationsChinesePublic opinion.JapanesePublic opinion.East IndiansPublic opinion.Public opinion305.8950711Ward W.
