The Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907 (日米紳士協約, Nichibei Shinshi Kyōyaku) was an informal agreement between the United States of America and the Empire of Japan whereby the United States would not impose restrictions on Japanese immigration, and Japan would not allow further emigration to the United States. The goal was to reduce tensions between the two powerful Pacific nations. The agreement was never ratified by Congress and was ended by the Immigration Act of 1924.

Background[edit]
Tensions had been rising in Tokyo and San Francisco, and after the decisive Japanese victory against Russia, Japan demanded treatment as an equal. The result was a series of six notes communicated between Japan and the United States from late 1907 to early 1908.
The immediate cause of the Agreement was anti-Japanese nativism in California. In 1906, the San Francisco, California Board of Education passed a regulation whereby children of Japanese descent would be required to attend separate, racially specific schools. At the time, Japanese immigrants made up approximately 1% of the population of California; many of them had immigrated under the treaty in 1894[clarification needed] which had assured free immigration from Japan.[2]
In the Agreement, Japan agreed not to issue passports for Japanese citizens wishing to work in the continental United States, thus effectively eliminating new Japanese immigration to the United States. In exchange, the United States agreed to accept the presence of Japanese immigrants already residing in the U.S., and to permit the immigration of wives, children and parents, and to avoid legal discrimination against Japanese American children in California schools.
There was also a strong desire on the part of the Japanese government "to preserve the image of the Japanese people in the eyes of the world":[citation needed] Japan did not want America to pass any legislation confronting the Japanese immigrants, in response to what happened to the Chinese under the Chinese Exclusion Act. President Theodore Roosevelt, who had a positive opinion of Japan, accepted the Agreement as proposed by Japan as an alternative to more formal, restrictive immigration legislation.[3]
The government of Japan continued to issue passports for immigration to the Territory of Hawaii, from where immigrants were allowed move on to the continental United States with few controls.
History[edit]
Background[edit]
Chinese immigration to California boomed during the Gold Rush of 1852, but the strict Japanese government practiced policies of isolation that thwarted Japanese emigration. It was not until 1868 that the Japanese government lessened restrictions and Japanese immigration to the United States began. Anti-Chinese sentiment motivated American entrepreneurs to recruit Japanese laborers.[4] In 1885, the first Japanese workers arrived in the independent Kingdom of Hawaii.
Most Japanese immigrants wanted to reside in America permanently and came in family groups (in contrast to the Chinese immigration of young men, most of whom soon returned). They assimilated to American social norms and clothing styles. Many joined Methodist and Presbyterian churches.[2][5]
As the Japanese population in California grew they were seen with suspicion as an entering wedge by Japan. By 1905, anti-Japanese rhetoric filled the pages of the San Francisco Chronicle. In 1905 the Japanese and Korean Exclusion League was established. The Japanese and Korean Exclusion League established four policies in 1905:
Extension of the Chinese Exclusion Act to include Japanese and Koreans
Exclusion by League members of Japanese employees and the hiring of firms that employ Japanese
Initiation of pressure the School Board to segregate Japanese from white children
Initiation of a propaganda campaign to inform Congress and the President of this "menace".[6]
Japanese Americans did not live in Chinatown, but throughout the city.
Segregation of schools[edit]
At the time, there were 93 Japanese students spread across 23 elementary schools. For decades policies existed that segregated Japanese schools, but they were not enforced as long as there was room and white parents did not complain. The Japanese and Korean Exclusion league appeared before the school board multiple times to complain. The School Board dismissed their claims because it was fiscally infeasible to create new facilities to accommodate only 93 students. After the enormous 1906 fire, the school board sent the 93 Japanese students to the Chinese Primary School, renaming it "The Oriental Public School for Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans". Transportation was limited after the earthquake, and many students could not attend the Oriental Public School.[7]
Many Japanese Americans argued with the school board that the segregation of schools went against the Treaty of 1894. The Treaty did not expressly address education, but did indicate that Japanese in America would receive equal rights. Under the controlling decisions of the United States Supreme Court (Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896), a state did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution by requiring racial segregation so long as the separate facilities were substantially equal. Tokyo newspapers denounced the segregation as an insult to their national pride and honor. The Japanese government wanted to protect its reputation as a world power. Government officials became aware that a crisis was at hand, and intervention was necessary in order to maintain diplomatic peace.[8]
Federal intervention[edit]
President Roosevelt had three objectives to resolve the situation: show Japan that the policies of California did not reflect the ideals of the entire country, force San Francisco to remove the segregation policies, and reach a resolution to the Japanese Immigration problem. Victor Metcalf, Secretary of Commerce and Labor, was sent to investigate the issue and force the rescission of the policies. He was unsuccessful; local officials wanted Japanese exclusion. President Roosevelt tried to pressure the School Board, but it would not budge.
On February 15, 1907, the parties came to a compromise. If President Roosevelt could ensure the suspension of Japanese immigration then the School Board would allow Japanese American students to attend public schools. The Japanese government did not want to harm their national pride or suffer humiliation like the Qing government in 1882 from the Chinese Exclusion Act. The Japanese government agreed to stop granting passports to laborers trying to enter the United States unless such laborers were coming to occupy a formerly-acquired home, to join a parent, spouse, or child, or to assume active control of a previously acquired farming enterprise.[9]
Concessions were agreed in a note, consisting of six points, a year later. The agreement was followed by the admission of students of Japanese ancestry into public schools.
The adoption of the 1907 Agreement spurred the arrival of "picture brides" — marriages of convenience made at a distance through photographs.[10] By establishing marital bonds at a distance, women seeking to emigrate to the United States were able to gain a passport, while Japanese workers in America were able to gain a helpmate of their own nationality.[10] Because of this loophole, which helped close the gender gap within the community from a ratio of 7 men to every woman in 1910 to less than 2 to 1 by 1920, the Japanese American population continued to grow despite the Agreement's limits on immigration.[11]
The Gentlemen's Agreement was never written into a law passed by Congress, but was an informal agreement between the United States and Japan, enacted via unilateral action by President Roosevelt. It was nullified by the Immigration Act of 1924, which legally banned all Asians from migrating to the United States.

Plot[edit]
Opening sequence[edit]
Jasmine's flying carpet is seen in the forest.
Event chronology[edit]
The Agrabah events take place after "The Savior" and the Once Upon a Time in Wonderland episode "Trust Me", and after Prince Eric left for Agrabah in "Ariel". The Enchanted Forest events take place after "Broken Heart" and after Jasmine and Aladdin left Storybrooke in "Wish You Were Here", and after the Once Upon a Time in Wonderland episode "And They Lived...". The Storybrooke events take place after "Page 23."
In the characters' past[edit]
"Many years ago" in Agrabah, Jasmine's father, the Sultan, is looking for suitors for his daughter, and Jafar answers the request, except he has an ultimatum: if Jasmine doesn't accept his hand in marriage, Agrabah will be destroyed by sunset. Later on, while chasing down a thief, Jasmine runs into Ariel, who is looking for Prince Eric. Believing that finding Eric will bring his army to protect her Kingdom from Jafar, Jasmine and Ariel team up and track down Eric via Jasmine's magic carpet, only to discover that Prince Eric was actually Jafar in disguise. Ariel suggests that Jasmine use a vial of powder she stole from Jafar to defeat him, but Jafar uses his magic to send Ariel and the vial back to the sea.
Towards the beginning of sunset, Jasmine agreed to marry Jafar, in exchange for sparing the lives of her people. She hands him the ring, but Jafar soon reveals that he never really wanted to rule Agrabah, since its people had always scorned him. He was actually interested in the ring, which contained the magic jewel that powered Agrabah's protection spell. He then uses it to cast a curse to make Agrabah disappear, "out of human reach".
In the Enchanted Forest (present day)[edit]
As the Nautilus is submerged into another realm, Nemo and Liam inform Hook that Gideon has taken the blood of the Kraken that was needed to return to Storybrooke, so Hook suggests that they hunt down the squid. At the same time, Jasmine and Aladdin search for Agrabah, when she discovers a ring in her pocket after she had wished to find Agrabah. They later continue the journey on boat, when they come across the Kraken, and are saved by Hook. It turned out that the compass from the Nautilus can lead them to a person whose heart is filled with revenge. This gives Hook an idea to help track down Jafar, who might still have the ability to help him return to Storybrooke. However, the Kraken also caused critical damage to the Nautilus, but Jasmine uses her second wish to send them to Jafar's pinpointed location, Hangman Island.
After they part ways with Nemo and Liam, Hook, Aladdin, and Jasmine encounters Ariel, who had a vase-like lamp that contains Jafar, who is now a genie. When Jasmine summons Jafar, it only ends up freeing him, since he found a way to break his genie curse while imprisoned, before going on to knock out the others with magic. Jafar tells Jasmine that he no longer wants anything from her, only vengeance on those responsible for his imprisonment (Cyrus and Alice, from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland). Jafar goes on to mock each of them, calling Aladdin "battle-broken" and "weeping". At Jasmine's insistence, he tells her what happened to her kingdom, but only because the answer amused him - Agrabah was trapped inside the ring that she just wished up. Jafar then mocks Jasmine's past failure and inability to save her people, before demanding that Jasmine give him the ring. Jasmine, now emboldened, discovers a way to save her kingdom, as she turned Jafar into a walking staff using the magic powder, much to Jafar's shock. Then, she kisses Aladdin, thus freeing him from his genie curse, and causing the entire kingdom of Agrabah to re-materialize from the ring. Afterwards, Ariel helps Hook find a way to communicate with Emma, by giving him a seashell that can allow him to call her across realms. Hook uses the seashell, and he's able to reach Emma successfully, vowing that he'll had never meant to leave her, and that he'll find a way to return to her.
In Storybrooke[edit]
In the present day, Emma tells David about Hook having killed Robert. David is upset over this and about Hook's reluctance to confess himself, but Emma tells David that he left on the Nautilus after they broke up over this issue, as witnessed by Leroy earlier. Later, Regina suggests to Snow and Emma that they enjoy ladies' night at a new bar called "Aesop's Tables," but a heartbroken Emma passes. At home, Emma accepts that Hook won't be coming back and gathers his things with Henry when she gets a phone call about a bar fight. As she arrives, Emma discovers that Regina and Snow tricked her into joining them. Regina encourages Emma to open up about her heartbreak while a drunk Snow challenges a group of vikings to a knife-throwing contest. A crying Emma is met by the bar's owner, Aesop, who tells a heartbreaking of an artist and his wife, then gives her a napkin to wipe her tears away. When Emma returns home, she makes to put away Hook's belongings, when she noticed a seashell calling out her name, discovering that it was Hook telling her that he'll return to her. After Emma loses the signal, she hears Aesop's voice and she looks up, only to discover that Aesop was actually Gideon, who needed Emma's tears in order to blackmail her, telling her that with her tears, he will be able to prevent Hook from using any portals to return to Storybrooke, unless she helps him kill the Black Fairy.

"Amish Paradise" is a 1996 single by parodist "Weird Al" Yankovic. It is a parody of the hip hop song "Gangsta's Paradise" by Coolio featuring L.V. (which itself is a reworking of the Stevie Wonder song "Pastime Paradise"). Featured on the album Bad Hair Day, it turns the original "Gangsta's Paradise", in which the narrator laments his dangerous way of life, on its head by presenting an Amish man praising his relatively plain and uncomplicated existence.

"Everything You Know Is Wrong" – 3:46
"The Night Santa Went Crazy (Extra Gory Version)" – 3:59
"Dare to Be Stupid (Instrumental)" – 3:25
Coolio's response[edit]
Although Yankovic traditionally secures permission from the artists he parodies (even though this is not legally required, as parodies are covered under fair use guidelines), and was told by his record label that Coolio had given permission, Coolio later claimed that he had not given such permission (and in fact publicly expressed disgust saying that Yankovic's parody "desecrated the song"). This created a minor controversy, as speculation surfaced that Coolio had actually given permission but later claimed he had not in the fear that allowing the parody would not be seen as "cool", or that Yankovic's record label had lied to Yankovic in the hopes that the song would become popular.[citation needed]
Yankovic later stated on VH1's Behind the Music that he had written a sincere letter of apology to Coolio, which was never returned, and that Coolio never complained when he received his royalty check from proceeds of the song. A series of photos taken at the XM Satellite Radio booth at the 2006 Consumer Electronics Show suggests that Yankovic and Coolio had made amends.[1]
On June 27, 2013 during an "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit, Yankovic was asked "Is Coolio still upset about Amish Paradise?", to which Yankovic replied "Coolio's cool with me now. We ran into each other a few years ago and it's all water under the proverbial bridge."[2] Coolio stated in a 2014 interview that the decision to refuse the parody at the time was "stupid" and wished that someone on his management had stopped him, and considers the final parody to be "funny".[3]
Music video[edit]
The director of the music video for "Amish Paradise" was Weird Al himself. Weird Al has directed many of his music videos since 1986.[4]
The music video for "Amish Paradise" is very similar to the "Gangsta's Paradise" music video, although several concepts have been parodied. These include:
When Yankovic states that Amish shun electricity, several Amish stomp on electronic devices, such as vinyl records, CDs, floppy disks, laptops, telephones, and a Slim Whitman LP album.
When Yankovic says he is up at 4:30 in the morning milking cows, he is shown milking a cow directly into a bowl of cereal instead of a milk pail. A box of corn flakes can be seen next to him. The Kellogg's brand name is covered.
In the next scene, when Jebediah is "feeding the chickens" he is giving them pizza.
The line "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699", is a not-so subtle jab at Prince and his song "1999". Prince is one of the very few artists in the music industry who, during his lifetime, consistently refused to give consent and endorsement for Weird Al to record parodies of his songs.
When Weird Al is churning butter, a woman walks by, and he is seen churning faster in an arguably suggestive manner.
When the man is sawing and checking his sundial watch (then realizing that it does not work because there are clouds in the sky), the man behind him is playing golf (the follow-through of which resembles the use of a scythe).
When Weird Al sings, "We sell quilts at discount price," a wooden booth is shown selling quilts with a sign that says "OUR PRICES ART INSANE !!!" in a parody of Crazy Eddie advertisements.
At one point Al is seen reading a fictitious Lancaster, Pennsylvania, newspaper, The Lancaster Times, with the headline "Much Butter Was Churned." This is a homage to the film Witness, which takes place in Lancaster County, home to perhaps the most well-known Amish communities, even including a town called Paradise.
In one part, two boys are looking at a supposed "Amish Babes" porn magazine (the cover slogan says "Plow My Field!"), but in the centerfold, the woman is merely showing her leg up to her knee, insinuating that this is considered to be scandalous among the Amish.
When the young Amish children are on Yankovic's knee, they each have a beard, even though they appear to be about 6 years old.
Weird Al's face is seen, with him sweating more every time a close up is taken to mock how L.V. is sweating profusely in Coolio's video.
When Yankovic states he's "scoring points for the afterlife", he takes off his hat to reveal a hairstyle very similar to that seen on the cover of his album Bad Hair Day. These are both parodies of Coolio's trademark hairstyle.
On the back of the carriage just before the sign reading, "Welcome to Lancaster", there's a "bumper" sticker stating, "How am I driving?" Other signs are seen stating, among other things, "BE GOOD", "NO FUN", "SIN-FREE ZONE", and "Mind Your Manners".
The man in white shirt and glasses attempting to use the vintage telephone, and in turn being coated with dust, is fashioned after a photograph of 1960s comedian Allan Sherman.
The lyrics "No phone, no lights, no motorcar... not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe, it's as primitive as can be" are originally from the closing theme song to Gilligan's Island.
Near the very end, Yankovic is reaping crops with a scythe, then walking away from a barn while the animals move in reverse motion. For this effect, the scene was recorded normally while "Weird Al" walked backwards and lip synced the words backwards, so when the scene is shown backwards, he is walking forward and his lips are in sync with the song itself. This scene is a parody of the video for Enigma's "Return to Innocence"—a then-popular music video that prominently featured scenes of crops being reaped with a scythe and farm animals walking in reverse.
The video features Florence Henderson in the role originally portrayed by Michelle Pfeiffer. Reportedly, Henderson jumped at the chance to be featured in the parody, after seeing the Coolio video.[5]
Weird Al's parents Nick and Mary Yankovic appear in the music video as Amish people.[6]
The video shows many aspects of regular Amish life, such as raising a barn (the scene directly parodies Witness). However, when the barn is raised, the frame falls towards Yankovic, who is standing where a gap in the frame is. He has acknowledged that this gag is a Buster Keaton homage as originally seen in the film Steamboat Bill, Jr.
