I had no idea what I was gonna do after I got my degree in philosophy in 1940. But what I did know was at that time, if you were a Chinese-American, even department stores wouldn't hire you. They'd come right out and say, 'We don't hire Orientals.'

Ich hatte keine Ahnung, was ich tun sollte, nachdem ich 1940 mein Philosophiestudium absolviert hatte. Aber was ich damals wusste, war, wenn Sie ein chinesisch-amerikanischer Amerikaner wären, würden Sie nicht einmal in Kaufhäusern beschäftigt sein. Sie kamen gleich heraus und sagten: 'Wir stellen keine Orientalen an.'
