I'm ready to die.

Life sucked for immigrants, but it was supposedly better than where they came from.
The US Gov't were dicks and put laws in place that fucked immigrants over, if you were Asian, you were fucked.
It was called the Gilded age because everything was shit, but covered up to make it look fine. Like a piece of poop gilded in gold. It's gold, but it's still a piece of crap. You can thank my 8th grade history teacher for that one.
You either entered the country through New York, or California.

What is the poop-to-gold ratio
