H. S. Tsien was one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and one of the major technical leaders of the American Space and Missile Programs. In the Red Scare of the 1950s some nativist conservative members of Congress and others managed to get his security clearance removed on the grounds that he had Communist Sympathies. Like many other American Citizens, he disapproved of the Chinese dictator Chiang Kai-shek even though Chiang was the anti-Communist bulwark in China. Since his work was space and missiles, he had little professional to do and when Chiang Kai-shek was defeated in China and pushed to Taiwan, H. S. Tsien ended up going to China and starting their rocketry program. (He is known as the “Father of Chinese Rocketry”). He is the only scientist who was an early leader in the space programs of two different nations. Kimball, whose naval missiles were all in part developed by H. S. Tsien’s work, was furious, but at the time with McCarthyism riding high, his criticism was met by accusations that he was a Communist sympathizer.


This quotation illustrates how extensive and virulent anti-Asian racism had become. Gompers was a left wing liberal, but also a labor leader, and the prospect of millions of oriental immigrants competing for the existing American jobs was frightening. The irony of this quotation was that most of the labor constituency that Gompers represented had been immigrants or were the children of immigrants who earlier had frightened American workers and whose ethnicity had been opposed—Irish, Italians, Jews.

Richard Bertrand Spencer is an American neo-Nazi, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, and white supremacist who is known for his activism on behalf of the alt-right movement in 2016 and 2017. Spencer calls for the reconstitution of the European Union into a white racial empire, which he believes will replace the diverse European ethnic identities with one homogeneous "white identity". The majority of European nations have banned Spencer and denounced his call for white racial empire. Poland in particular has repeatedly sought to ban Spencer from Europe, citing Spencer's Nazi rhetoric and the Nazis' genocide of Slavic people during World War II.
