In 1908, Samuel Gompers on the AFL (American Federation of Labor) published his well-known treatise, co-authored with Herman Gutstadt, on the problems affecting the American laboring classes of white men titled, Meat vs. Rice: American Manhood Against Asiatic Cooliehood. Endorsed by the Asiatic Exclusion League, Gompers' dictum anchors its xenophobia and anti-Asian sentiments in a culinary idiom, facilely, but efficaciously applying the language of are what you eat to sharply distinguish between white labor as hearty meat eaters, and Chinese immigrant labor, portrayed as scabs in the American labor force as rice eaters
