Wei Min She (meaning 'organization of the people' in Chinese) developed in the 1970s as an anti-imperialist organization in the San Francisco Bay area.[1] When WMS first formed, many members identified themselves as Marxists and the group consisted of many different groups of people. They were primarily the working class, students and bourgeois.
The organization focused on Asian American activism, serving as one of the larger Asian American organizations at the time. Asian American activists strived to create their own unique identity through a blend of American and Asian traits. WMS members strived to establish independent cultural identities instead of assimilating into American culture. Asian Americans in WMS believed imperialism was to blame for the oppression of Asians in America. American culture was extended and prominent, and they felt they had to assimilate. Those who did adjust to American culture chose to acculturate, still trying to preserve their Asian identities.
Organizations like WMS were significant at the time because of the increasing numbers of Asian Americans resisting racialization. In the 1970s, the organization commonly met in the International Hotel in San Francisco, the hot spot for Asian American organizations to meet. The International Hotel housed many low-income Chinese and Filipino families, which was a contributing reason for the large Asian community present at the time. WMS used culture as a political tool to overcome western imperialism and to conserve identities. Through entertainment of creating music, lyrics and skits, WMS was able to educate the community about the cultural identity of Asians in America.
