Question 3 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which of these events led to increased discrimination against Asian Americans in the 1960s?

Answer
A
the Chinese Exclusion Act
B
World War II
C
the war in Vietnam

Explanation

The Vietnam War increased suspicion and hostility toward people perceived as Asian, contributing to discrimination against Asian Americans during the 1960s. The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in 1882, and World War II ended in 1945, so neither was an event of the 1960s.
