Skid Road: Henry Kubota and the Sinking Ship

This time we went all in on one block. Yes, one individual singular solitary block of Seattle. But there's quite a bit to say about this block, as it turns out.

This is also an episode where the story necessitates talking about the anti-Asian attitudes and policies of late 19th/early 20th century Washington State and the U.S., including the Chinese Exclusion Act and the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2. You know our style, we don't get into detailed descriptions of hate crimes or anything, but like always, use your judgment and be good to yourselves.
