Abstract
In order to survive in an unfriendly atmosphere, Chinese immigrants bond together, often living in enclaves referred to as Chinatowns. This protective gesture creates a new round of stereotypes about who they are and what their intentions are. Their refuge in Chinatown is held up as proof they cannot assimilate or become part of the self-governing polity. The fact that they can survive on less than the white man is considered proof of their inferiority. Young marriageable Chinese women not allowed to immigrate nor are Asians, Mulattoes or Negroes allowed to marry whites. By the mid 1880s anti-Chinese protests and violence spread across the United States, and the Chinese become the first national group to be barred from immigrating to U.S.
