Levi's jeans have a racist history that dates back to the late 1800s, with the slogan "The only kind made by White labor" reflecting the discriminatory sentiments of the time. This slogan emerged during a period of anti-Chinese sentiment following the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which barred Chinese laborers from entering the U.S. The slogan was adopted when Levi's was manufacturing jeans in the San Francisco area, where there were many Chinese immigrants. This historical context highlights the company's role in perpetuating racial stereotypes and its impact on American labor history.
Therefore, you aren't participating in
Anti-Chinese sentiment if you aren't writing "The only kind made by White labor" on your products.
