Margaret talks with comedian Jenny Yang about the Rock Springs Massacre of 1885 that left 28 Chinese people dead. Tensions between white coal miners and Chinese workers reached a boiling point. White workers perceived that the Chinese workers were taking their jobs (willing to work for lower wages) and led a riot and subsequent massacre that touched off a wave of anti-Chinese violence. Also, they discuss the San Francisco man threatening Asian women at a bakery, Asian ghost stories and Chinese dragons. Support Red Canary Song, a grassroots collective of Asian & migrant sex workers.
