Rejecting the economic analysis of free market wage rates by such leading economists of that era as Alfred Marshall in England and John Bates Clark in the United States, economists of a Progressive orientation advocated minimum wage laws, as a way of preventing “low-wage races” such as Chinese immigrants from lowering the standard of living of American workers. Professor John R. Commons, for example, said “The competition has no respect for the superior races,” so that “the race with lowest necessities displaces others.” Professor Arthur Holcombe of Harvard, and a president of the American Political Science Association, referred approvingly of Australia’s minimum wage law as a means to “protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese.”

The progressives just can't stand it when 'inferior' races out compete them.
Thing is, Asians HAVE suppressed wages by their mass immigration, which is why it was shoved down our collective Western throats. The Bullshit Maru is a case in point, whatever the fuck that shipful of sicks was. Not our fault the "peaceful" hindoos beat the fuck out of 'em when they were sent back. Not to mention the CPR and their chinese. They could have brought over Irish, but oh, no, they might want money and don't live on rice. All so we can be told "you don't need minumum wage, just live like these monkeys do, 50 to a bachelor apt and all share the rice bill like the packees, and eat dogs and rats and bugs like the chinks and afreakans do."
Stop sticking up for the motherfuckers. The thing that got me to see through Communism was when they tried to tell me that the pakis and chinks wouldn't compete way back when outsourcing was just starting.
It's not that they don't like or understand competetion, they just LIE about it.
Mass immigration regardless of race depresses wages. The issue is when people emigrate from poor countries into richer countries in general. This is also why wage growth has stagnated in recent years; as more and more women enter the workforce, there's more competition for workers and more choice for corporations so they can afford to keep wages low.
Anybody against immigration control is an enemy of the American people.
Asians are not the one depressing wages. The government is depressing wages by allowing it in the first place. Your Western governments are intentionally to blame for a) preventing competition from increasing labor demand, making it more scarce, and driving up it's price, b) keeping minimum wages in place to make sure that certain jobs are in permanent demand at a given price, which will prevent those wages from effectively rising because labor is never scarce, c) demanding mass migration in the first place to do a & b.
All so we can be told "you don't need minumum wage, just live like these monkeys do, 50 to a bachelor apt and all share the rice bill like the packees, and eat dogs and rats and bugs like the chinks and afreakans do."
Wrong. You don't need a minimum wage at all. The reason you need a welfare state for all the unemployed is because the minimum wage generates unemployed. You also need a welfare state because Keynsian economics robs people of their savings. When you generate unemployment and you rob those same people of their savings, a welfare state is the only salvation to the problems you created... which you can also use to secure your political power because you care so much.
Stop sticking up for the motherfuckers.
I'm not sticking up for anyone but myself. I'd put you out of a job in a heart-beat. I've worked for minimum wage while living out out of my car, and still managed to save money. Having a strong work ethic, like the Chinese did back in the day, is what allowed me to improve my position in life. Fuck your middle class sensibilities of what you think I should live like. I don't intend to be poor forever, working as a corporate wage-slave for the whole of my life. I don't care that you're weak, and unwilling to not ask for a government or corporate hand-out. All the worthless protectionism you are asking for will only bite you in the ass because you've done nothing to improve your skills, experience, or life. I've watched it happen. There's a reason the unions are dying: the deserve to. Not because they didn't protect workers enough, but because they never could have. If anything, they're built to keep competitive labor unemployed, and keep shit labor over-paid. When the industry completely fucking goes, everyone loses.
If you want any chance of freedom from Communist tyranny, stop supporting the labor protection rackets they build to control people & wages.
The Progressives have taken up their old ways:

Minimum wage is less effective than immigration controls + tariffs.
