Expressions Definition
Hindoo (horse) Hindoo (1878-1901) was an American thoroughbred race horse. (references)
Turban Tide and Hindoo Invasion By the late 19th century, fear had already begun in North America over Chinese immigration supplying cheap labor to lay railroad tracks, mostly in California and elsewhere in the west coast. In xenophobic jargon common in the day, ordinary workers, newspapers, and politicians uniformly opposed this "Yellow Peril". The common cause to eradicate Asians from the workforce gave rise to the Asiatic Exclusion League. When the fledging Indian community of mostly Punjabi Sikhs settled in California became noticeable, the xenophobia expanded to combat not only the East Asian Yellow Peril, but now the immigrants from British India, the Turban Tide, equally referred to as the Hindoo Invasion (sic). While "Hindu" is the correct spelling, the spelling "Hindoo" was popular at the time, and it should be generally assumed that the ideals associated with the older spelling are often equally antiquated.
