Why was the chinese exclusion act hypocritical?

Answer 1

Because it didn't exclude Japanese...only Chinese from San Francisco schools...and they were our allies against the Japanese at the time.

Answer 2

because, just as the preamble to the constitution suggest,
all men were created equal, what we do after creation...is another matter entirely. i see you took my advice and wrote your poem from the heart. while the brain and mind govern, THE HEART rules, at the end of the day. the gut knows best.
