Abstract
This paper will examine the reasons for
the and impact of the Chinese Exclusion
Act had on Chinese as well as ultimately
the culture of the United States. This
paper will also demonstrate that Chinese
laborers were discriminated against and
excluded as immigrants from America
because of racism and jealousy.
Introduction
This paper is about what the Chinese
Immigrants had to go through, their
struggles, and how they were mistreated
and killed in America. The Chinese
Exclusion Act of 1882 was passed
prevent Chinese Immigrants from
freedom of movement in the US.
Hypothesis
While white Americans were xenophobic
and feared that Chinese Immigrants would
take their jobs because the Chinese
laborers were known to be faithful and
hardworking people from China. This
situation towards the white Americans
brought jealousy and excessive greed
upon the Chinese laborers.
Conclusion
My research explains why the
Americans felt xenophobic
towards the Chinese
Immigrants and so many
other cultures and races way
in America’s nation.
