The correct answer is A.  The Chinese <span>faced the greatest degree of discrimination in the United States. In 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act</span> was passed by Congress.  This act was the result of the popular belief that the Chinese were taking away American jobs and causing wages to go down because of their willingness to work for less.  At this time, approximately 300,000 Chinese had already immigrated to the US.
