Besides these obvious acts of
discrimination, there were the
everyday encounters and incidents
of discrimination on the street, on
graffitied walls, at stores, in
people’s minds . . . in people’s
eyes. ■
“For the Japanese it was a vici
ous circle. If they prospered,
they were regarded as danger-..
ous economic competition. More
often, because they-could afford
- only basic necessities, they were
^ accused of lowering the Cana
dian standard of living, While
their efforts to integrate were
rebuffed, their attmepts to pre
serve the Japanese language
and religion were interpreted
as refusal to'assimilate.”
(Janice Patton, Exodus of the
Japanese.)
