2021-07-16 03:50:55 +0000 UTCConcerning those anti-Chinese pogroms during the Mexican Revolution, check out Wikipedia’s entry on the “Torreón Massacre”, which took place 13-15 May 1911, following the official end of the Siege of Torreón. The degree to which Villa and/or his forces were culpable isn’t quite as clear-cut, but then again, I’m no expert when it comes to Torreón history….
