The correct response is:
**distinctions between the rights of citizens and non-citizens**
This is because, during the late 19th century, Asian immigrants were often classified as non-citizens, which allowed for different legal and social treatment compared to American citizens, contributing to their exploitation and virtual enslavement in various forms of labor.
