Forget It (Chinatown)
from L.A. Meekly: A Los Angeles History Podcast
It's Chinatown. Take a non-offensive because they actually had them rickshaw ride through the atrocious history of old Chinatown and the Chinese community of Los Angeles all the way up to the present day new Chinatown or, as you know it, Chinatown. We go over the bad days of Old Chinatown, the unforgivable Chinese massacre, the dueling New Chinatown and China City, the many laws set to keep the Chinese community down, which spawned the endlessly internal support that the community used to flourish. Listen to the early days of Chinese immigrants to the city (3:27) and the creation of China City and then Chinatown (42:02).
