Answer:

Because their lives have been intensely changed because of xenophobia.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vincent Chin and Lily Chin were American citizens of Chinese descent, but they were victims of xenophobia, which is prejudice against everything that seems or is foreign. Vicent was beaten to death, due to getting involved in a fight after he was heavily insulted for being Asian. His murder was considered a hate crime and many witnesses said Vicente was a victim of Xenophobia. His mother, Lily Chin, had to move to another city, as she was very sad with the memory of her son. In addition, she had to stand up and speak in favor of the Sino-American community, which was constantly devalued and victimized by violence, by white Americans.
