Fair enough

You’re missing there were many different laws in effect that prohibited Asians from becoming citizens, owning property, testifying against white people, marrying white people, etc for many years. It didn’t have anything to do with Communism or WW2. After the influx of cheap Chinese labor for the railroads and gold…

I’m just not sure what you’re trying to correct. Even after the Boxer Rebellion China was not an enemy. Americans simply excluded them from immigration due to fears of the Yellow Peril. And didn’t repeal many racially discrimatory laws until the 60s. Also the ROC aka Taiwan was always considered a friend. The…

People like to criticize Madame Chiang but she was instrumental in getting the Chinese Exclusions repealed in 1943.

Attitudes towards all Asians have been hostile always. Ask Vincent Chin if it made any difference between 1871 to him. I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make. Asian immigration and miscegenation was severely limited all the way up until the 1960s. My grandfather was one of the few legal Chinese…

Since it’s gizmodo shouldn’t it have been this?

Like the ones in Pearl Harbor skittering across the sky like tie fighters? Much rather have real planes even if approximations. We need more Frank Tallman and Paul Mantz like flying!

Remake of a George Burns Art Carney movie. It’s quite good.

Insert Gavin ref for Mike Sparks

#1 city for a reason. Got there in the 70s! Brush, tumblweeds, and Irvine Company still had cowboys

Wow way to make me feel like an olds. Lol yeah OC was awesome back then. Strawberry fields and orange groves. The 405 was like a race track speed wise compared to now.

He’s also lucky he didn’t share the fate of the In N Out family which was wiped out on approach to John Wayne due to wake turbulence. I remember that because they crashed near a strip club our office used to frequent.

It’s not supposed to be condos and golf courses though it’s supposed to be the Great Park right? Too many of us old guys dumped hazmat on the ground over the years to have people live there! ;)

I thought you were referring to the car he also made and cursed Australia with. The beloved Ford Falcon!!! Mad Max needed his interceptor

Thanks that’s new. Poor El Toro will never get the funds to compete with them.

MacArthur Blvd looks wide enough too. Gotta love OC infrastructure. Bike lanes and side walks even though nobody walks or bikes. Lol

Also John Wayne is closest airport to Newport Beach/Corona Del Mar etc. maybe he was visiting the Bluths at Balboa Bay Club!

Museum? You don’t mean Frank Tallman’s Movieland of the Air do you? I used to love going there as a kid.

They might’ve produced this in light of the Battle of Brisbane too where Yanks and Aussies got in a massive riot fighting each other and to counter the serial killer American soldier who murdered 3 women in Melbourne depicted in the movie Death of a Soldier - there’s a fanciful scene in the movie where Aussies and…

No apricots please!
