Contractors frequently exploited and abused them, to the point where there were abundant violent riots, giving the Irish their fighting reputation. A notable case of tragedy occurred in 1832 at a location called Duffy’s Cut in Malvern, PA. Fifty seven workers caught cholera in August and were refused help by the community. They had no choice but to suffer alone without medication, and were quickly buried along the tracks as they died. This event may have sparked the adage that there was an Irishman buried for every sleeper (railroad tie) on the tracks. The men labored from sunrise to sunset in very dangerous conditions, clearing ground, trees, stumps, rocks, and cutting or blasting through boulders, hills, and mountains, digging irrigation channels and building supports

None of the white men were found guilty of the crimes. In Tacoma, six hundred Chinese residents were chased from their homes and their houses were burned, and in Rock Springs, Wyoming, twenty-eight Chinese men were killed and the remaining men were forced out.
Natives were stripped of their humanity followed by their lands, houses, farms, and families. White Americans were power hungry
The role that power and inequality play in the broader picture of service work with Native America is complicated and brutal. White men came to America and inserted their power so much so that a land once populated by millions of indigenous peoples is now, a few hundred years later, colonized, gentrified, industrialized and completely taken over. In that time, native people were murdered, given diseases, forced to migrate, used as slave labor, forced into war, “Americanized” in violent boarding schools, stripped of any traditional ways of life and pushed on to tiny reservations that are concentrations of some of the deepest poverty in the world. Though this history seems like a distant past, these same themes of forced suppression and white
Aboriginal Canadians have, over the years, become victim to a tremendous amount of discrimination by the Canadian government. The Indian Act of 1867, which signifies one of the earliest forms of discrimination, took away a significant amount of power from the hands of Aboriginals. Aboriginals living within Canada have also suffered as a result of poor living conditions and extreme poverty. Although poverty is a national issue, it is especially prevent among the Aboriginal community. The White Paper of 1969, which attempted to assimilate Aboriginals into Canadian culture, is considered to be one of the most severe forms of discrimination directed towards this group.
