This is the punch line, a delicious inversion of a phrase already popular among anti-Chinese agitators, appropriated by Harte to expose the hypocrisy of white racism. Its lines were recited, quoted, parodied, set to music, reprinted and resold on city streets. Many readers missed the ironic tone, interpreting the parable as a sincere endorsement of anti-Chinese racism. He complained about it often. Harte had another reason to regret the poem: Many readers missed the ironic tone, interpreting the parable as a sincere endorsement of anti-Chinese racism.

A pirated edition of the poem published in Chicago made this painfully clear. It featured drawings of a slant-eyed Ah Sin getting attacked by a mob of whites, without an ounce of irony. This was only the beginning. Local industries suffered, just as the thousands of laborers who built the railroad—many of them Chinese—streamed into San Francisco looking for new work.

Wages fell; unemployment rose. The economic malaise made anti-Chinese sentiment more intense.

In , one year after the poem appeared, the worst mass lynching in American history took place in Los Angeles. Six years later, a similar outbreak of white rage erupted in San Francisco. On the night of July 23, , 8, workers gathered outside City Hall to show support for the railroad strikes that had flared throughout the country that summer. Hecklers cried anti-Chinese slogans. Hoodlums pummeled a Chinese passerby.

They set fire to Chinese homes and cut the hoses of the firemen who came to extinguish them.

They pried cobblestones from the street and broke the windows of Chinese laundries. But, thanks to Harte, Easterners who had never seen a Chinese person carried Ah Sin around in their heads. In Congress passed the Page Act, the first of many laws aimed at restricting Chinese immigration. Page 5. Page 6.
