      Ehh it’s testing the kids to see how much they learned of the racism Chinese people faced on the West Coast (North America) back then. It’s also a good way to have students emphasize empathize with those experiences too by making them write from that perspective.

      The wording is sort of forceful, but I assume the goal of the question is to have the students empathize with how things were for a Chinese immigrant at that time.
