A passage from Verne

In January 1872, the site had been surveyed, measured, demarcated, explored, and then construction began with an army of 20,000 Chinese coolies, led by 500 European foremen and engineers. All of California is plastered with job advertisements, and every morning it leaves San Francisco and crosses the American continent to make a big publicity to ensure the smooth progress of the recruitment of labor. In fact, there is no need to make such a big publicity, as long as a few big words are engraved on the cliffs of Los Angeles, cheap labor will come to the market. However, it must be told that the influx of Chinese coolies into the Western Americas at this moment has seriously disrupted the labor market, and several states have had to expel these unfortunate Chinese coolies in large numbers in order to protect the survival of local residents and prevent bloody violence. The builders of the city of France saved the Chinese coolies from this fate in time!

Let's keep our eyes open, that's what Europeans think. This was true more than 100 years ago, and I am afraid that it is still the case today, they always feel that they are superior, that it is their gift that others can survive, and that they should always be at the top of the pyramid.
