In the United States, the first restriction on immigration targeting a specific racial or national group was animated by fears of disease. During a smallpox epidemic in San Francisco, in 187, San Francisco public health officials banned the spread of the disease on “unscrupulous, lying and treacherous Chinamen”whose “willful and diabolic disregard for our sanitary laws” had transformed Chinatown into a “laboratory of infection” Only a few years later, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned immigrants from China altogether. ~ Page 64
