WITH his hat, big belt buckle and cowboy boots, Ly looks the part of a Texan and even speaks with a twang. He’s served in the US Navy but yesterday, he was doing battle on a different front, against a proposed law that would bar Chinese citizens from owning property in Texas.
About 300 protesters marched through Houston’s Chinatown yesterday, shouting “Stop Chinese hate” and “Texas is our home.” Demonstrators wearing a Chinese dragon costume marched alongside, and others pounded and clanged drums and cymbals.
