As Warrior season two kicks off, the real history of Chinese in San Francisco and the long, difficult relationship between rival migrants and police
- Based on a concept by Bruce Lee, Warrior is heavily fictionalised but does reflect historical tensions between the Chinese, Irish and police in San Francisco
- The city’s Chinatown has seen crime taper off since a Gang Task Force was established in the late 1970s, but the community is not immune to it
