Question

A) Yes, by fostering cultural exchange and acceptance.
B) No, racial prejudice persisted despite assimilation efforts.
C) Yes, by promoting interracial marriages and social integration.
D) No, because Japanese immigrants resisted assimilation attempts.

Answer 1

Racial prejudice persisted despite assimilation efforts by Japanese immigrants.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, racial prejudice persisted despite assimilation efforts by Japanese immigrants.

Throughout history, Japanese immigrants in the United States faced racial discrimination and prejudice, particularly during World War II. Despite their attempts to assimilate into American society, Japanese immigrants were often perceived as a threat and were subjected to internment camps and other forms of discrimination.

This discrimination hindered their ability to overcome the color line and fully integrate into American society, making option B) No, racial prejudice persisted despite assimilation efforts, the correct answer.
