- Chau is adressing the discrimination against Asians in the united states in the late 1800’s. He also states that Europens loved the work ethic of asians unlike the Americans
2. The contriversal issue is preveting Asians from gaining citizenship. They were also treated unfairly like working for long hours with lower wages. Rumors were also spread about Chiniese immigrants.” inability to assimilate into American culture and how the Chinese were an “undesirable” race” (pg 132).
3. Chaus argument about Asians in the film was the strongest. I believe it was the strongest becouse the names the made for themseleves in the film industy. They went from being small roles to to main charchters. In 2018 Crazy rich Asians was realesed with a fully Asian cast which was a great movie.
4. An argument I can make for Americans is they feared a goverment takeover from Asian immigrants during that time in history. Although it was immoral to discriminate and conduct racsist acts against Asians, the US couldnt take any chnaces. Due to past American history there was a slight possability if a large amount of Asians started to assimulate to the United States at that time they could have conducted a takeover, But no matter what it was extreamly wrong what the US did.
5. I discoverd that Asians were wrongly treated becouse they had zero intention of doing any harm they just wanted to assimulate and become apart of the American culture. Another thing is how big Asians have in our sociaty and especially in the FIlm indusrty.
