are we going to do the same for every racial and ethnic group that suffered injustices over the past three or four hundred years, including Native Americans, Irish Americans, Mexican Americans, Italian Americans, Mormons, Muslims, Asian Americans, Quakers, Amish, et al? If not, who's going to decide which groups do and don't get reparations?
Granted, slavery was worse than other injustices, but the 20,000 Chinese immigrants who worked on the transcontinental railroad were basically slaves. Many of them from explosions (due to unstable nitro glycerine), landslides, other accidents and disease. Not to mention anti-Chinese riots in California.
