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. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history ;$v8. 606 $aChinese$zBritish Columbia$xPublic opinion 606 $aJapanese$zBritish Columbia$xPublic opinion 606 $aEast Indians$zBritish Columbia$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zBritish Columbia 607 $aBritish Columbia$xRace relations 615 0$aChinese$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aJapanese$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aEast Indians$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a305.8950711 700 $aWard$b W.
