and then three asian interpreters. but the 1930s interpreters could be asian. when the immigration bureau first began, it was against the law to hire anyone who was non-white, even if the job was interpreter. because it was believed that the asians would naturally collude with each other or be easily bribed. and so you had the situation in the 1880s and 1890s with the interpreters who were not asian, who were white, trying to interpret very difficult languages and dialects. and some of them didn't know all of them very well. so we have immigration officials on angel island and we have interviews in the book that you've been reading that detail that some were very fair minded. they felt that it was a difficult situation. they tried to give the benefit of the doubt, but we also know that many officials also were hardened. some were veterans of the anti-chinese movement, had helped to pass some of these laws and felt it was their duty to keep the gates closed as tightly as possible. one of the first things that chinese immigrants had to face was the medical exam.

all of them at its root describe asian immigrants as not american, always asian. immigrants that are dangerous cannot be assimilated. dangerous for several different reasons. by the 1930s it's about national security. and then we know that by 1942 that japanese americans all up and down the west coast are forcibly removed. there are exclusion orders that have posted at every street corner in the cities ordering anyone with japanese ancestry to remove themselves. they are barred from living in these areas and to assemble at various different assembly centers where then they will be incarcerated throughout the united states. the name kind of says it all but not everything. not every chinese is excluded. who is excluded? all chinese immigrants aside from anyone who is a merchant to children of a native born citizen. >> okay. good. so some are excluded. there are certain provisions. the main group that's excluded are chinese laborers. at the very beginning the exclusion act says for ten years. so chinese laborers are excluded, but like you were saying, there are exemp

we did a survey of over 600 asian-american lawyers, which is more than 1% of all the asian-american lawyers in the country. what they said was in terms of incidents of overt discrimination, very rare. but when you ask about implicit bias, the numbers go up significantly. we asked another question is whether they thought members of the legal profession perceive them in a certain way. it is very much -- i think this will resonate with asian-americans not just in law but all walks of life. but the adjectives most commonly associated were things like they were very logical, careful, very hardworking. but then the adjectives were things like efrp thet ik, creative, assertive. so when you're before a promotion committee or when the senior partner is thinking about who are they going to bring to go to the client meeting, these intangible qualities like who has presence, who has a credible demeanor before a client, those are things that are hard to measure and that's where asian-americans report challenges. >> if justice is blind what difference does it make what color or gender or situation orient

how many asians are too many asians for the harvard incoming class? should there be any limit whatsoever? what if on the merits, if you go by gpa and sat score, you could fill the entire class at harvard with asian-americans, should they do so? >> first of all, there's the multifactorial administration process, nine criteria with grades, letters of recommendation, essay. grades and test scores are not the only consideration. data can easily be manipulated. i'm a cfra holder, but the simple point is that as an asian-american, it is harder to get into college or graduate school than any other racial category. where data is available, it's consistently harder for an asian-american to get in. i used the example of medical school admissions where it was 50% easier to get into medical school as an asian-american compared to an african-american. so statistical data, there's no rationalization for racism. affirmative action is a system of legalized racism. it is a racial classification system that changes people's chances of admission to college or graduate s

i was told this is an operation about asian grooming gangs. this is what we are after.ple we are interested in. i had to find out what's going on, where the parties were taking place. last party i went to, one or two, i got to find out about parties, so when they were happening, i would ring it in. between march 2014 and december 2015, xy was paid £10,300 for the information he supplied to his police handler. but that wasn't his only reward. there are a variety of motivations for chises. most of the time it's for financial benefit. sometimes they are providing information because they hope that information will mean that they get a discount on a prison sentence, if they are on bail for something. during his time as an informant, xy benefitted from lighter sentences and he was certainly a prolific offender. in all, xy had 53 convictions. he had a history of fraud and assaults. while working for operation sanctuary, he was arrested for dishonesty, an assault in a mosque and he was even questioned about making sexual advances to a 13—year—old girl. i think it's absolutely
