"Vincent Chin was a Chinese-American draftsman who was killed in Detroit in June 1982. He was beaten to death by Ronald Ebens and Michael Nitz, both who were White men. At that time, Detroit was experiencing an economic downturn...Before Chin’s death, witnesses said the two called him a derogatory, anti-Asian name, and blamed him for the downturn and loss of jobs in the auto industry."
