By the 1870s the easygoing cordiality that greeted the first Chinese in America had been replaced by an ugly resentment that often boiled into violence. Racism and economic fear led many Westerners to believe that the Chinese, who were willing to work cheap, were stealing their jobs.

The courts even prohibited Chinese from giving testimony in cases that involved whites.
