THe Chinese six company « Thread Started on Nov 4, 2003, 9:28pm »
This was about a company that was trying to help the Chinese by helping them accommodate to America. It was called the “Chinese Six Company.” the Chinese opened companies to help the Chinese when they are discriminated. This tried to stop the discrimination that was towards the Chinese. The Chinese didn’t know the ways in America so the CSC was there to help them get use to or to fit in. It was then changed to the CCBA (Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association) this relates to our big question because if there were no discrimination towards the Chinese, there would be no point for CSC. Whites were very racist to the Chinese and this was very unfair because the Chinese can’t really do anything about it.

This company was to help Chinese accommodate to America. This company came out in the 1860s. This company mostly helps the Chinese immigrants who came to America. Later on the company changed its name to Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. There were very little information for this group and I just used some information from Charles post.
