Race and Ethnicity were two in the same to me in these chapters. When I think of race I think of racism but I don’t think in this chapter they differentiated between race and ethnicity. I think if you were anything other than American you were discriminated against.

What about how the plantation owners tried to pit Koreans vs. Japanese (ethnicity) in order to keep all Asian (race) workers in a lower position?
Good Point! When I read this I thought that no matter what anyone other than american was discriminated against. I do now see how ethnicity was brought into the mix but I still think in the plantation owners eyes that they were just 2 different groups of people who they could manipulate.
