Mark Twain : Interview with South Australian Register. (1895).
"I was never disposed to make fun of the Chinaman ; I always looked upon him as a pathetic object ; a poor, hardworking, industrious, friendless heathen, far from home, amongst a strange people, who treated him none too well. He has a hard life, and is always busy and always sober, therefore I never could see anything to make fun of in the Chinaman. No, he is not wanted in America. The feeling is that he ought to go, but America is a place for all people, it seems."
