Do you think whites are more racist towards Asians than Asians are racist towards whites?
Can you tell me more about the history of racism towards Asians in the US?
The first wave of Asian immigrants came to America in the mid-1800s, primarily from China. They faced discrimination and violence, and the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 restricted Chinese immigration to the US. Similar laws were later passed to restrict Asian immigration from other countries, such as Japan and Korea. During World War II, Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps. Even after these laws were repealed in the mid-20th century, Asian Americans still faced discrimination and stereotypes.
