Did Asians or Europeans face discrimination when they came to the us?

Both Asians and Europeans faced discrimination when they immigrated to the United States, albeit in different contexts and periods. Asians, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, encountered significant prejudice, leading to restrictive Immigration laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Europeans, while often facing less severe discrimination, experienced nativism and xenophobia, especially during economic downturns and after World War I, particularly against Southern and Eastern Europeans. The nature and intensity of discrimination varied based on prevailing social attitudes and economic conditions.
