It's actually pretty plausible, the first wave of Japanese people to immigrate to California and Hawaii was in the 1860s. By the 1900 census there were nearly 25k Japanese people living on the West Coast.

(I looked it up because often it isn't the upper classes that are motivated to leave a society, but in this case it checks out.)
