“In one week of February, 327 Hindus arrived in San Francisco. The Hindus in California now number 10,000…benevolent assimilation of the Hindu is impossible. In the first place, they despise white men”

“Any American or Briton who assumes a patronizing air to a Hindu does not offend the philosophical oriental. Instead, he amuses him intensely”
“Secretly despising our parvenu, inexperienced civilization, and without the intention of becoming Americanized, or even Caucasian, the Hindus can not be benevolently assimilated. They are the most persistent race in the orient”
“Their form of civilization is older than any now extant. It is impossible to Christianize them— impossible even to caucasianize them. We do not want the Hindus”
