       The first large group of Chinese immigrants came to the United States in the middle 1800s. At that time, some Chinese moved to the American west to build a railroad across the country. Many others worked in    (1)    or on farms.

        Chinese immigrants helped the U.S. economy. However, most Americans saw the Chinese as    (2)    .William Wei teaches history at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He says Chinese immigrants were not treated well. They had to live together in poor neighborhoods, or do hard work in   (3)    and restaurants that did not pay very much.

        Mr. Wei says the American public did not believe Chinese immigrants could ever be part of their society.

       In fact, in 1882 the US Congress approved and the president signed the Chinese Exclusion Act. The law    (4)    Chinese people from moving to the United States and becoming citizens. It was the first and only US law to ban a specific ethnic group.

        The US government cancelled the ban during the 1940s after China became an American    (5)    in World War II. Yet the government limited the number of Chinese migrants to just 105 per year.Finally, in 1965, the government ended the system     (6)      Chinese immigration.

        Frank H. Wu leads the Hastings College of the Law at the University of California. He says the history of Chinese immigrants in the United States helps explain why so many Chinese Americans are well-educated.

       "The Chinese people who were able to immigrate were talented, they were students on scholarships, they were people who had great potential," he says.

     Mr. Wu says the United States includes people of many races, and one race should not be considered better.

     Mr. Wu says such thinking leads people to think victims are responsible for their     (9)    .

       Charles Gallagher of LaSalle University added that all Chinese Americans are not good in school. One who does not succeed as easily may feel he or she does not really belong.

        Helen Zia is a Chinese American writer. She says US policy makers may believe the Chinese are successful, so the government does not have to help those who are poor or suffering.

      And, Ms. Zia says, some people may believe Chinese Americans are too successful."If we are    (10)    as being able to endure everything," she says, "it also means that we can be perceived as being able to take over everything."
