    “When the Chinese question is settled, we can discuss whether it would be better to hang, shoot, or cut the capitalists to pieces. In six months we will have 50,000 men ready to go out … and if ‘John’ [the Chinese] don’t leave here, we will drive him and his aborts [sic] into the sea … We are ready to do it … If the ballot fails, we are ready to use the bullet.”

    Ah yes, the “Chinese question” and driving them into the sea… Wow, this guy REALLY didn’t hold back, did he? asa-brow

    But at least he got dumped on pretty hard by a Chinese rights activist:

    Wong went up repeatedly against anti-Chinese activist Denis Kearney, heckling him and at one point challenging him to a duel, and giving Kearney his choice of weapon: chopsticks, Irish potatoes, or Krupp guns.

      I’m sure that nazi germany would improve working conditions for the chosen race once all the undesirables are eliminated.

      I’m sure that the bargaining power will increase after we increasingly support shoving people with my similar class interest into the gas chambers

      The duel weapon choice bit is so good, yet is there some special context for the krupp gun part besides being big cannons (and so ridiculous)?

        I’d say it’s most likely just the size. Although I don’t think those guns would actually be that ridiculous. Just put them on 2 neighbouring hills and you could have a nice artillery duel. A bit more interesting than watching 2 men fight each other with potatoes, I’d assume.
