USA: 'The Great Fear of the Period—That Uncle Sam May be Swallowed by Foreigners'. Anti-Chinese, anti-Irish racist cartoon, San Francisco, White & Bauer Lithographers, late 1860s

Starting with the California Gold Rush in the late 19th century, the United States—particularly the West Coast states—imported large numbers of Chinese migrant laborers. Early Chinese immigrants worked as gold miners, and later on large labor projects, such as the building of the First Transcontinental Railroad. Chinese migrant workers encountered considerable prejudice in the United States, especially by the people who occupied the lower layers in white society, because Chinese 'coolies' were used as a scapegoat for depressed wage levels by politicians and labor leaders. In the 1870s and 1880s various legal discriminatory measures were taken against the Chinese. These laws, in particular the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, were aimed at restricting further immigration from China. The laws were later repealed by the Chinese Exclusion Repeal Act of 1943.

USA: 'The Great Fear of the Period—That Uncle Sam May be Swallowed by Foreigners'. Anti-Chinese, anti-Irish racist cartoon, San Francisco, White & Bauer Lithographers, late 1860s
Descripción:
Traducción automática: A partir de la fiebre del oro de California a finales del siglo XIX, Estados Unidos (particularmente los estados de la costa oeste) importaron un gran número de trabajadores inmigrantes chinos. Los primeros inmigrantes chinos trabajaron como mineros de oro y más tarde en grandes proyectos laborales, como la construcción del Primer Ferrocarril Transcontinental. Los trabajadores inmigrantes chinos se enfrentaron a considerables prejuicios en Estados Unidos, especialmente por parte de las personas que ocupaban las capas más bajas de la sociedad blanca, porque los políticos y líderes sindicales utilizaron a los 'culis' chinos como chivos expiatorios de los niveles salariales deprimidos. En las décadas de 1870 y 1880 se tomaron varias medidas legales discriminatorias contra los chinos. Estas leyes, en particular la Ley de Exclusión China de 1882, tenían como objetivo restringir una mayor inmigración procedente de China. Las leyes fueron posteriormente derogadas por la Ley de Derogación de la Exclusión China de 1943.
