Even though many Chinese immigrants had settled into the U.S. before the ban, they were still subject to racism and xenophobia. Many white people believed that these immigrants did not belong and they were destroying “white purity”.

Considering the governments are who set these bans in place, that made citizens believe that they were correct. Additionally, since the Chinese Exclusion Act stemmed from white workers believing that Chinese immigrants were why the economy was dipping for them, it had already been ingrained that it was social acceptable to have racial prepuces against Chinese immigrants. Similarly with the Muslim ban, some citizens blindly followed Trump and others saying that all Muslims had ties to terrorist organizations after 9/11.

The Chinese Exclusion Act worsened people's already negative attitudes towards Chinese immigrants who were already in the US.

The Muslim Ban put a racist ideology into the heads of many people during this them. Making them believe it is okay to be racist and prejudiced against a certain group of people.

I noticed that when I was teaching my ESL (English as a Second Language) classes in 2016 and 2017, I had many students who had recently arrived from Syria, Honduras, El Savador, Iraq, etc... My classes used to be 22-24 students. Every year since, my ESL classes have shrunk. This year, my class size is 10 students. I think that this means that many were denied enterance to the U.S. and forced to go to other countries

The Chinese Exclusion Act led to a rise in hate crimes and discrimination against the Chinese community already living in the United States. With Thomas Geary's extension of the Exclusion Act for 10 more years also came the forced carriage of documentation for Chinese people in America, and many people (xenophobes) took advantage of that law and used it as an excuse for more discriminatory acts. After the Act was repealed, the Chinese population was still very low, and hate crimes and discrimination against the Chinese population still continued.

I believe there are some people who will always be inherently racist but I think this situation escalated the fact that these people now think its ok, more than ever, to racist and have prejudice over groups of people. When these bans were passed it showed US citizens, especially white ones, that its ok to discriminate and hate against people who don't align with what they think is "American" even though patriotism is a very individual experience.

The Chinese Exclusion Act allowed for violence and discrimination in the work place and in their daily lives. The Nasty attitude continued because Americans couldn't unlearn the hate.
