That statement on that 1880's jeans was important to White people, especially White people in California, a new state, since California was polluted with Chinese workers in multiple industries, and Levi Strauss, a jewish manufacturer based in San Francisco of blue work jeans of high quality, thought it was a solid selling point.
San Francisco had a large Chinese labor force that worked cheap. In fact, Levi Strauss was right to use that slogan, because in 1893, there were numerous Chinese exclusionary acts by Congress that limited their employment and later led to their expulsion from the US. This was caused by immigrant labor taking jobs at lower pay from White men, who rightfully resented it.
