San Francisco Ordinance
nThe ordinance passed by the City of San Francisco required the Chinese to move to an area that had been designated for slaughterhouses, tallow-rendering plants and other businesses considered to be offensive. nBefore the ordinance was passed, the Chinese in San Francisco were effectively segregated in Chinatown. 
nWhy would the city pass such an ordinance?
nWhat other choice did the Chinese have in addition to moving to the designated area?
