I took an Asian-American studies course a while back and read up on some stuff, so I have some general knowledge about the history of the immigration laws. I just didn't pay as much attention to the non-East Asians, or it could be that those groups aren't addressed as much. I keep meaning to make up for the lack, but never really get around to it. For instance, it keeps slipping my mind that the Filipinos had a U.S. presence since the 1700s.
