@equalisource.bsky.socialThe opportunity for most #Filipinos to become American citizens before 1946 was closed to them by the United States Supreme Court in its 1925 decision, Toyota v. United States.
@equalisource.bsky.socialIn 1942 President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order that opened the way for #Filipinos to work in government and in war industries
@equalisource.bsky.socialIn 1946, Congress passed a law that permitted #Filipinos to qualify for American citizenship.
@equalisource.bsky.socialIn 1937, the United States Attorney General restated that #Filipinos were American nationals and thus eligible for employment on Works Progress Administration projects. However, they could not receive preference because they were not citizens.
@equalisource.bsky.socialIn 1948, the California Supreme Court ruled in Perez v. Sharp that the miscegenation law violated individual civil rights, thus freeing #Filipinos to marry whomever they pleased.
@equalisource.bsky.socialThe West, as reported in the 1990 Census, had 991,572, or 68.4 % of the #Filipinos.

@equalisource.bsky.socialA perhaps unexpected form of discrimination for immigrants arriving after 1965 was the hostility that they met from second-generation #Filipinos who saw the new arrivals as snobs and upstarts who were benefitting from advances made by the older group.
@equalisource.bsky.socialUnlike pre-war immigrants who largely worked as unskilled laborers in West Coast and #Hawaiian agriculture and in Alaska's salmon canneries, the third wave was composed of larger numbers of well-educated #Filipinos who came looking for better career opportunities
@equalisource.bsky.socialWashington had 3,480 #Filipinos in 1930 and 2,222 in 1940.
@equalisource.bsky.socialIn 1930, there were 108,260 #Filipinos in the United States and the Territory of Hawaii.
@equalisource.bsky.socialIn 1928 there were about 4,000 #Filipinos employed in Alaskan canneries but at low wages. Wages remained in dispute each season.
@youronly.oneCalling all #Filipinos, and anyone who can help
