Assemblyman Paul Fong, D-Mountain View, wants us to remember that when the Statue of Liberty was unveiled in New York Harbor in 1886, welcoming immigrants from around the world to America, there should have been a sign posted in front that said: "Everyone except Chinese."

They got their “sorry” in WWII and repaid our kindness and sacrifice with communism.

Japan invaded china. After Pearl, the US decided it would be helpful to both sides if they fought the common enemy, Japan. Before Pearl, the US did nothing to stop the Japanese attacks on China.

Perhaps you could elucidate the kindness the US supplied to China that was not self interest ?

So what.

Beyond that specific example, the larger point is that there are numerous instances throughout history where one group of people has mistreated another.

The Chinese are as guilty as anyone.

I was in the 3rd grade and standing in the lunch line when a classmate, his name was Ron Spinner, borrowed 4 cents from me so that he could buy a small carton of milk. He promised to pay me back the next week.

What I didn’t realize at the time is that we had only 4 more days of school before summer break.

Ron Spinner, a thief, never paid me for that 4 cent loan and if I were to see him today, I would not accept an apology. I would want my 4 cents, interest for over 50 years, and then I would kick his butt all over the schoolyard.. er .. I mean, parking lot.

My point is.... nothing, but don’t ever try to screw me out of so much as a penny. ;>)

As a NATIVE American, this entire subject is overly ironic.

I think we should apologize the day China decides to invite tens of millions of illiterate and non-ethnic Chinese foreigners to settle there.

actually, that would have been ok, the chinese were totally excluded from coming by law. they did not get the chance to be mistreated like your grandparents.

And what's wrong with that? It's up to a country's citizens to decide who they want or do not want in it. If they can't decide even that, then in what sense is a country theirs? You don't see me giving China a hard time about not accepting tens of millions of African immigrants.

Ok, so you admit that the USA decided they do not want chinese, they don't like chinese and before 1960, no way in hell were they going to let chinese in (except for brides US GI's wanted to bring home as wives).

Look up Claire Lee Chennault and get back to us.

Is there anything wrong with that? Have Chinese ever wanted Africans? Will China ever admit tens of millions of Africans? By your non-answer, you've admitted that the Chinese have never wanted Africans and probably will never want them by the tens of millions.

My grandparents didn't get to the United States until well until the 20th century. Do I still have to apologize?

Oh, goody. Another mea culpa is due some unsung victims of Western oppression.

Stuff it.
