Though infrequent, there were Old West comic book tales involving Chinese who had come to America...
...such as this never-reprinted one from Dell's Lone Ranger #70 (1954).
"If you don't fight to preserve the rights of all Americans, someday you may find your race or your religion the object of some mob's prejudice!"
As John Wayne would say..."Words to live by, pilgrim!"
You'll note the Chinese miners are supporting characters and told to not bear arms in their own defense.
Yet, if they were Irish, Italian, or any White ethnicity, they'd be side by side with the Ranger and the townspeople!
If the story seems a bit "talky"/dialogue heavy, that's because it was adapted from a script for the May 31, 1952 episode of the Lone Ranger radio show which you'll be able to find HERE, at our "brother" RetroBlog Secret Sanctum of Captain Video tomorrow!

The writer who adapted the script to comics is unknown, but the illustrator (pencils and inks) is longtime Ranger renderer Tom Gill.
