Why were the Irish in Chinese immigrants discriminated against the mid late 1800s?
In the mid to late 1800s, both Irish and Chinese immigrants faced discrimination primarily due to economic competition and prevailing racial prejudices. The Irish, often viewed as unskilled laborers, were marginalized by native-born Americans who associated them with poverty and crime. Similarly, Chinese immigrants, who worked primarily in low-wage jobs such as railroad construction and mining, were subjected to xenophobic sentiments and cultural misunderstandings, leading to violence and discriminatory laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Both groups were scapegoated in times of economic hardship, which exacerbated tensions and fueled discrimination.
