Question 5 options:
True

Answer 1

Chinese immigrants were seen as threats to Euro-American jobs and community wealth, leading to the Chinese Exclusion Act. Tacoma's Chinese community suffered from illegal expulsions. True claims about Wickersham's fears and increased violence against Chinese Americans were noted.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reasons some Americans perceived Chinese immigrants as a threat were because they worked for lower wages, threatening Euro-American jobs, and because they were perceived to weaken the community by sending money back to China. They also lived in separate communities, which made integration difficult. Regarding Tacoma, the absence of a vibrant Chinese community is attributed to the illegal removal of Chinese immigrants from their community, now known as the Tacoma Expulsion of 1885. The question regarding James Wickersham's letter is true, as Wickersham did express a fear that Chinese immigrants, due to their industrious nature, might outcompete white Americans for jobs. Lum May's statement highlights two correct answers: armed white men forcibly removed Chinese immigrants, causing substantial harm, including the permanent insanity inflicted on Lum May's wife.

It is true that due to misperceptions related to the COVID pandemic, Chinese Americans in the US have seen increased rates of violence and hate crimes. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 played a significant historical role in establishing systemic intolerance toward Asian Americans by banning Chinese laborers, thus consciously excluding a race from the American employment market and social fabric.
