Answer 5

Despite being a “melting pot” and a land of opportunity, immigrants are not always well-treated when they come to the U.S

In the U.S., during the 1800s and early 20th Century, both Jews and Italian immigrants were subject to extreme prejudice, racism, and, in many cases, violence. During this time, both groups were seen as non-Anglo and non-white. In fact, Italian Americans were the second most likely ethnic group to be lynched.

Ethnic minorities can fall victim to anti-immigrant bias that includes a recurrent preoccupation with “nativism” (i.e., policies favoring people born in the United States), resentment when so-called “immigrants” succeed (often related to a fear of losing jobs to newcomers), and disdain or anger when they act against the established norm (e.g. when they don’t know or refuse to learn the language).

People from Latin America are increasingly becoming targets of bias-motivated crimes.

Bias against Asian Pacific Americans is also long-standing. The Chinese Exclusion Act passed in 1882 barred Chinese laborers from entering this country.
