This is just one of several signs seen in California in the late 1920s and 1930s.   Another such sign read, No Dogs or Filipinos Allowed.   And yet another sign threatened towns that did not get rid of Filipinos.   It was a time when Filipino were made to feel unwelcome and were even victims of racial violence.  If anyone reblogs this, I beg you to not go hating on anybody.
