Charlie Munger on the origins of Chinese-Americans 🇺🇸 🇨🇳
“The Chinese first came in USA trying to build the Sierra, trans-continental railroad in the winter.”
“Our people were dying and it was just impossible, so they brought in 50,000 Chinese coolies, who were in those days practically slaves.”
“They took the coolies in the mountains and said - you build the railroads and they did it! The Americans couldn’t do it by themselves.”
“Fade in fade out 150 years later, due to immigration, these asians have rapidly become Doctors, Lawyers, Businessmen and succeeded mightily.”
“Every instrument that’s hard to play in symphony orchestra, is played by a Chinese face.”
- Charlie Munger. 2019
@WestsideLAGuy It really was. I was on a business trip to Florida and saw/heard people hyping him up. I am not surprised at all. California and New York City live rent free in the minds of all the other states.
@j_fishback (I am going to keep asking until I get an answer)
James. Why lie about your job title? Was this simple hubris? Do you think integrity should be something we expect of our politicians?
I think people in the United States crashing out about Americans rooting for foreign teams is crazy. Some of us are 1st Gen. We are new to the United States and there is no guarantee we will even stay here
