Based on the reading and film, some of the arguments that are made to exclude Chinese migrants from the U.S or from participation in American life are; they were seen as \u201ccoolie labor, immoral, diseased heathens, and unassimilable aliens\u201d. Americans view Chinese immigration as those who are inferior to them and see them as second class citizens. They were also denied the right to go to school. In 1860, Moulder\u2019s beliefs became law. When the Legislature decreed that \u201cNegroes, Mongolians and Indians shall not be allowed into public schools\u201d and authorized local officials to penalize any school that allowed \u201cinferior races\u201d to mix with whites. There was also discrimination against Chinese woman, they were seen as \u201cuncivilized, unclean, lustful and sensual\u201d the exclusionists were not concerned with the experiences and needs of poor Chinese girls and women who had been sold or tricked into prostitution instead they were seen as \u201cChinese prostitutes with danger to the life of white\u201d.

This situation is also happening right before our eyes within our world today. During the Pandemic, where our President used a racist term \u201cChinese virus\u201d or \u201ckung flu\u201d to describe the deadly coronavirus pandemic. Reading this material\u00a0 gives me many feelings and I have learned many things about our history where Chinese were taken into an island called \u201cAngel island\u201d where they were being\u00a0 interrogated before they were allowed inside the U.S and this took months, and during their stay there, they had no way of expressing their feelings so they wrote poems, I find that fascinating, \u00a0but at the same time dejected.<\/span><\/p>\n
