It's a statement that contains its own rebuttal. You could stay too if you were willing to cram a whole working family into a small space

It's implying but not stating what old-school racists used to come out and say - immigrants being "advantaged" bc they don't "need" space

In ye olden days ppl thought Chinese immigrants naturally enjoyed being bunked six to a room, instead of just having to accept it

Like seriously you can go to visit old Gold Rush mining camps "These barracks were designed to sleep 16 white workers apiece, or 48 Chinese"

Have you ever visited the tourism center for the big borax pit in Death Valley? That's a trip

It was where the Chinese immigrants went after the Gold Rush was over - a much less profitable mine in a much worse location

It was my favorite stop on our family West Coast National Park trip bc I enjoy cynical history facts much more than I enjoy nature

Death Valley in the summer is the worst place in the world and mining borax one of the worst jobs in the world
