Compare Historical Chinese Immigrants & Modern Chinese Immigrants in USA

Before this post, we talked about the history about Chinese Immigrants and Modern Chinese Immigrants. Now, let us compare them:
  • How they changed?
  • What's the different between them?
  • Do their some parts can connect with we learned during this semester? For example.
I. How they changed?

First, we knew that in the 19 century, many people from other countries came to USA espesially Chinese Immigrants because of the Gold Rush in California. And some american employers knew that chinese labors were cheapper than americans, and chinese labors worked so hard. So, because of that, it makes many americans lose their jobs. Then, in 1882, the USA passed " Chinese Exclusion Act" to make a limit for chinese immigrants, and also they will send chinese people back to China. But when America realized that they should open the door in China, like China is one of the biggest market in the world. So, America began to open own door for chinese immigrants again.
According to more communications between chinese and americans, it was improved during the several years. And the relationship between chinese and americans was getting better and better. More immigrants keep moving to the USA, and they built Tangren Street, Chinatwon and some things have chinese elements are really popular in the USA.

Whatever, they can include four sections:
  • The No limits of immigrants stage
  • The Chinese Exclusion stage
  • The limit of immigrants stage
  • The equal right of immigrants stage

II. What's the different between them?

Before:

1)Chinese Immigrants like labors
2)We don't have any rights
3)We don't have any power
4)We are in the lowest class, we even don't have political class
5)Contempt, and Exclusion(Racial Discrimination)

Now:
1)We have some rights
2)We have some power
3)We have political class in the USA
4)No Racial Discrimination(maybe some person still have it)
5)We are not labors any more.

III.Do their some parts can connect with we learned during this semester? For example.

Answer: Yes, we do.

For example:

During the Civil Rights Movement, it talked about the relationship between the black and white in the USA, like before they made segeregation to separate everything between the color and white because of Racial Discrimination. And in order to get own  rights in the USA, they marched and did some things to get their rights, because in the USA, the counsititution said all men are created equal, they believed. And MLK said we should use nonviolent to change them which means use love as tools to get the same rights as white people. They did, and they successed.
In the modern country, although we still have some  racial discrimination, we are almost equal. We are being friendly to each other. We communicate our countries and cultrue.  Now, we are living the country that full of the love.


"Peace!" "Love!"
