Honda, a Japanese company, started opening plants in the U.S. that would give birth to the Accord, the first car produced in America by a Japanese manufacturer. But anti-Japanese feeling was revealed in 1982 when a Chinese-American man was celebrating his bachelor party at a club in Detroit where he was attacked by a group of local men who worked at a Chrysler and other local American auto factories. "It's because of you... that we're out of work," the Chrysler worker told the man, Vincent Chin. Two of the men beat Chin, and he entered a coma and died four days later. The incident awoke America to the depth of anti-Japanese feeling in the country.
