Victoria Namkung: tRump’s #Ice raids recall a painful past for these Americans: ‘I see myself in those children’. Survivors of previous eras of xenophobia say the harms done have lasted generations – and what’s happening now threatens to do the same.

Chinese Camp, CA was a town (among many others in CA) created out of racism but any remnant of the Chinese who were FORCED to live there is long gone.
Once went there looking for any evidence of the Chinese. Didn't find any.
According to Wiki, there were NO Chinese living in Chinese Camp in 2010.

So, the loss of property due to the fire there has nothing to do w/the Chinese anymore. 🤷♂️

…
"Preserving the forgotten or little-known role of Chinese Americans in U.S. history is the goal of a volunteer project to scan and digitize the #archives of Chinese business, civic and community organizations on the West Coast led by David Lei, a longtime San Francisco Chinatown activist, and Anna Eng, a historian and lecturer UC Berkeley."
