Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In 1904 Chicago, two black men - "Dr. Cooper and Daniel Robinson" - were refused service in a Chinese restaurant (run by "Moy You, Moy You Kay, Moy Quong, and Moy Sam"). The "quartet of chop suey artists from the land of queues" were arrested and prosecuted under the "Illinois civil rights bill"; however, after "about five minutes", the jury acquitted them.

In this cartoon, two stereotypical black men are confronted by four stereotypical Chinese men, who tell them "NO CHOP SUEY, SEE". The black men are stunned, saying "HUH", and their hats are blown off their heads in surprise.
