Historical Overview: Japanese Americans (3199 words) |
| Despite the Issei’s hard work in the early twentieth century, envy and racial discrimination led to increasing anti-Japanese attitudes on the West Coast, much as the sentiment had developed against perceived Chinese competition. |
| Many Issei women were disappointed with their new homes, far from families and friends, which often required enduring discrimination and hard work to survive. |
