Best Answer

The Chinese were discriminated against and suffered terrible injustices on the goldfields for several reasons.

They were hard-working folk, and would often sift through the tailings and mullock heaps left behind by other miners, finding sufficient quantities of gold to make their hard work worthwhile.

The Chinese kept to themselves, and Australians were suspicious of people who had such a closed community united by a language no-one else could understand. The other miners were suspicious of how Chinese miners looked, with their long plaits, and how they dressed.

during the gold rush, theAustralians were very suspicious, confused and worried about the Chinese. They were worried and suspicious because they believed that the Chinese were out to take their jobs, their gold and their country away from them . They believed this theory as the Chinese seemed restless and were always working even on the rest day-sunday. They were confused about the Chinese use to their different traditions, religions, lifestyles and beliefs. All of the above of the Chinese was not what Australian people were used to seeing so they were confused and couldn't adapt with it until years later.

hope this helped....
