The <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UnitedChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnitedChurch</a> once operated a home and school in <a href="https://beige.party/tags/VictoriaBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VictoriaBC</a> for <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> and <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Japanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Japanese</a> girls and women. Today, many are surprised to learn this. Margery Hadley, a professional <a href="https://beige.party/tags/archivist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#archivist</a> and member of <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstMetropolitanUnitedChurch</a> in Victoria, has recently completed a <a href="https://beige.party/tags/digitization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitization</a> project that makes the images of the Oriental Home and School available online.

Ms. Que BanhI remember me & others <a href="https://beige.party/tags/FOBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOBS</a> - Fresh off the boat refugees, were treated with disdain by <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Asian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Asian</a> folks born here & it confused me a lot, as a little kid. I didn't understand why people who looked like me & my family, seemed to hate & not want to be anywhere around us refugee kids. It took me years to learn that they were so <a href="https://beige.party/tags/whitewashed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#whitewashed</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/indoctrinated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indoctrinated</a>, they became just as cruel to us as the white racist kids were. I felt sorry for them. I thought - how awful their lives must be, hating their own cultures & ethnicness. I got angry at their actions.
