Nativist beliefs are centered around the idea that one's own culture, ethnicity, or nationality is superior to others. This can manifest in hostility towards immigrants, support for nationalist policies, and the belief in protecting one's own interests over those of outsiders. Nativism often promotes a sense of exclusivity and can lead to discrimination and xenophobia.
To stop all Asian Immigration
Social Darwinism influenced the belief that certain races or ethnicities were superior to others, leading to discriminatory immigration policies. This resulted in restrictions targeting specific groups deemed as inferior, such as Asians and Southern Europeans, through laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act and the Immigration Act of 1924. These policies reinforced racial hierarchies and limited opportunities for immigrants to enter the United States based on their perceived social worth.
