The correct answer is: **They were subject to severe discrimination from the new settlers.**
During the California Gold Rush, the influx of outsiders greatly impacted Californios, who were Mexican settlers living in California, and regional Native Americans. Many Californios faced discrimination and loss of land as Anglo settlers moved in, often disregarding the land rights that Californios held. Native Americans were also severely affected; they faced displacement, violence, and exploitation by gold seekers and the encroaching population. Overall, the new settlers often marginalized both groups rather than welcoming them as equal participants in the new economy or granting them rights and protections.
