Discrimination faced in San Francisco (Japanese)
(Japanese) Upon arriving in San Francisco, we would go look for an apartment. But they wouldn’t rent us right away. They rejected us. I thought to myself then that they wouldn’t like to rent to black or Japanese people. When they saw us, they looked troubled and said no. When we talked on the phone, they would say O.K. So my husband and I would show up along with our two kids. When we got there, they would tell us different stories and reject us.
Luckily, my husband had a younger sister. So my sister-in-law and her husband had an apartment where we could live. Then after a while we moved into our own apartment.
