| 词源 | Zoot Suit Riots. A name for the Los Angeles rioting in 1943 primarily between U.S. sailors and soldiers and Mexican- American youths who wore the zoot suits. Twenty-three of the zoot-suiters were arrested, though their side seems to have been subjected to the most violence, servicemen even stripping them of their clothing and burning it. The trial was a travesty, but the guilty verdict was overturned on appeal. |
