In Napa, California, an anti-Filipino attack backfiresBy Benjamin Pimentel

SAN FRANCISCO – The letter, arrogant, vile, hateful, was clearly meant to provoke.
It called the growing Filipino community in the city of American Canyon, in Napa County, “filthy.â€
In a rambling, vicious rant, it accused them of having women with “CAUCASION†(sic) husbands “to assist in ensuring their half-breed children have ‘straight noses’ in order to be accepted in non-Filipino society.â€
It’s not clear who sent it. It also was not clear if the letter writer was white or non-white, or if that person (or persons) even lived in American Canyon or in Napa County.
But whoever sent it clearly knew it wouldn’t be popular. The letter was signed “Concerned American Canyon Neighbors.†That made sense in a way — he/she/they probably knew the reaction would be swift and strong.
In fact, it was.
