How were minorities other than black people(latinos,chinese hawaiians,etc) treated during the civil rights era? Did they have better treatment/rights than blacks?

I once read this book on Mississipi Chinese immigrants. It shines an interesting take on the AmericChinks as they saw the discrimination on their asses as similar to what they had in China: class discrimination. Most Chinks who emigrated out of the dying Empire/shaky Republic were peasants and faced the same difficulties and discrimination back home.
So their solution for most problems was basically "upward mobility: keep working, they'll soon forget that we're shitty peasants."
There was that Japanese chick who promoted Marxism and Black Nationalism so as to weaken the US so Japan could break free, remilitarize, and reestablish the East Asian Coprosperity Sphere under the Emperor (and fuck up China). I can't remember her name. She was on the Google page a few weeks or so ago.

What an incredibly intelligent question. Such a rare occurrence on /his/. I don't know, but I look forward to the discussion.

Bullshit, Kochiyama promoted those things because she was so anti-racist she ended up supporting extremist movements like a fool. Why would she want to destroy the PRC when she was a Maoist?

and they didn't fit neatly into white/black so they were still up in the air compared to latinos where you predominant ancestry determined which group you were put in.

This is why Orientals are pathetic. They didn't go and fight for their civil liberties; they just allowed themselves to get beat down by whitey.

Now they're richer and gaining worldwide influence compared to whitey, while the rest are languishing in garbage conditions, so I think they did something right.

Koreans are a cuck nation and will follow whatever country has currently made them their bitch. The red scare kept them right leaning, they don't want massa to get mad.

yes, I guess almost being overrun by communists would do that

Filipinos were too small (kek) in the 60's for any civil rights group to be paid attention to or discriminated against even.
Mostly they just worked small jobs until they made it. I think the fact that the Philippines used to be an unincorporated US territory helped Flip status in the US.
A fun bit is how Filipino extras hanging around in Hollywood/LA always found jobs in early cinema.
>Hey we need Native Islanders
Filipinos, hundreds of 'em
>Hey we need Native American Indians and the real ones said it is beneath their dignity to act in hollywood.
Filipinos again.
>We need Chinese soldiers in a Boxer Rebellion period piece.
We're Flips but some of us pass for Chinese, hire us.
