Explanation

Chinese immigrants faced discrimination in the United States during the 1800s, including laws and violence directed against them. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 barred most Chinese laborers from immigrating. Choice C is correct because it identifies discrimination beginning in the 1800s; the other choices make inaccurate general claims about Chinese immigrants and later immigration laws.
