“Chinese laborers of today are men who, by long training, and by a heredity which has been stamped upon them and ground into them, through centuries of time, have become hardy, enduring, machine-like in every physical characteristic.”
 — Sen. John Franklin Miller, 1882

“We all know that the Chinese are cruel, that they have no sympathies in the usual Western sense; we know that they delight in the torture of all things that have life.”
 — Edward J. Dingle, 1912
