With the Anti-Asian movements, racial prejudice, and economic recessions, the federal government passed the Chinese Exclusion Act on July 1st, 1923, shutting down all Chinese immigration. To the Chinese-Canadian community, this day was known as “Humiliation Day” and shop owners refused to open their businesses that day. This was an impossible hurdle for the men’s goal of family reunion, and they entered a period called “bachelor’s society” (“Indepth China: Chinese Immigration”, CBC). The female population in China was left to fend for themselves and contributed to much of the poverty of the lower class (CCNC). From 1923 on, the community thrived on the expansion of small businesses (.

“Unique Characters Bedevil Beijing” by Sharon Lafraniere 1. Many Chinese people from China wish to have creative, individual and symbolic names with meaning but they cannot choose those names because of the Chinese bureaucracy’s order to have similar names with other citizens. It should be part of our freedom to have the right to choose our own names and to embrace it. When a person changes their name, it would cause disturbances to certified and legal documents. This also causes a lot of confusion because many citizens have the same names with 70,000 people in the same country.
I am going to be writing a persuasive essay on the differences between the immigrations of the Loyalists and the Chinese. In my opinion, the Loyalists had a worse migration experience compared to the Chinese. In the following paragraphs I’m going to be explaining to you why the loyalists had a worse experience then the Chinese. The reason why the loyalists moved to Canada are because they didn’t like their government and also because of the American Revolution, they did not want to participate in the war therefore they moved to Canada where peace was found and there was no war. One of my first reasons why the loyalists had it worse than the Chinese was in 1783 when most were exiled from their own land.
To make the situation even worse for the Chinese, California amended its constitution in the late 1870s, which restricted Chinese immigrants from citizenship; in-turn prohibiting anyone from hiring them legally. The discrimination and resentment of Chinese immigrants swelled up and continued throughout the nineteenth century, ultimately leading to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which limited the number of Chinese immigrants to only 105 per year. The Chinese population in California faced strict housing laws which forced them to live in segregated neighborhoods. Because of the heavy discrimination against Chinese, the men who worked on the railroad moved eastward into Louisiana
Women in Late Imperial China In Chinese history, women were usually considered useless and foolish. They were never to be respected from other people, sometimes even their husbands and relatives. And in some circumstances, they were even considered a problem. In the book “Chinese Civilization” by Buckley Ebrey, he gave us some examples according to the authors from the twelfth century who took fresh look at women. During the sections, all the stories were chosen from Song dynasty, one of the well-known dynasty in Chinese history, and a lot of important events happened during that period such as, the famous minister and literati Wang Anshi who took reforms.

The three things that affected North Vietnamese, hating Americans, living in harsh conditions and receiving severe injuries were all things they had to deal with during and after the war. They hated the Americans for causing deaths and poisoning land that will now cause problems for North Vietnamese today. The harsh conditions led to injuries which also made them hate Americans. As much as they hated them at that time, they now forgive and try to move forward from what happened. The Vietnam War definitely affected them in a bad way but at least they look into the future and not think of the past.
Dolphus Raymond. He relates it to himself in the context of racism towards him and his family and identifies it as the result of the white society of Maycomb not realizing that the black society is also human and equal. Throughout the book, the society in Maycomb is shown to be a very racist community, so racist that racism has been integrated into the culture of Maycomb. In this community, the black society is hated, and suppressed by the predominantly white society. Due to this, the black community is prejudiced against and does not ever get the chance to rise in society.
