        Japan was an imperialist state way before 1924 (Korea was already totally colonized by 1910). This explanation is plainly ridiculous.

        Japanese WW1 veterans, who fought with the allies, even committed suicide to protest the 1924 Act. There were some members of Congress who wanted an exception for Japanese (~100 green cards annually) but Coolidge, idiot that he was, disagreed.

        Well, while his intentions are good- they are stupidly simplistic. Im sure Japan annexed Korea in 1910 due to a law US will pass 14 years later.

        The 1924 law was offensive in Japan, but it was relatively minor vs. bigger challenges at the time to Japanese self-perception as equal partners w the West - Wilson's rejection of the Racial Equality clause in the Versailles Treaty - The US push to end the Anglo-Japanese Alliance

        Replying to @David_J_Bier

        Agree that the Racial Exclusion Act offended some Japanese, but not enough to be more than a minor irritant. Being treated as less than equals at Versailles and the following naval treaty was far worse. They also very much wanted expansion/empire regardless of western behavior.

        Reminds me of the Vonnegut line, "Who told you the Chinese were colored?!" lmao this is as orientalist as inserting a white main character in the American release of Godzilla.
