You have a link to back that up...about Japanese forced to live in cities
Not where I lived
Jackson Mississippi of all places
Yes we had Japanese too from late 1800s...agriculture in the delta..the Japs farmed better than the Chinese
Btw....I looked it up yes California did segregate Japs you are right
But Mississippi didn’t...isn’t that funny...I thought we were the bigots
My neighborhood had a war hero doc who was third gen Japanese ...his son was of course excellent at baseball
I don't need a link, saw it up close. Just across the San Francisco border, in Daly City where I lived for a while. Right in the paperwork for buying a home, forbidding caucasians from selling to Asians. Realtor said don't worry about that, no longer enforced (early 1970s). Back then, very few Asians in the peninsula suburbs, mostly white folks. By the 1980s, Daly City flipped from majority white to mostly Asian because the old racist rules were dropped. Trickle after WWII ended became a flood of Asians by the 1980s to the suburbs. There was never a problem about Japanese living and working in the Central Valley of California, they were largely responsible for developing the rich farmlands. Same was true for Chinese and Mexican laborers. Whites had restrictive rules in the suburbs.
By the way, about Asians living in cities here in California, had fewer problems than elsewhere with blending in. My wife is Chinese-American, never knew her grandparents as they died long ago. Her father served in the U.S. Army during WWII in Italy. After he passed some thirty years ago, she found paperwork that showed her great-grandfather was a deputy sheriff in Alameda across from San Francisco, while raising her grandfather as a child. Huh, a Chinese-American lawman a century ago!
