The war in Vietnam.
U.S. involvement escalated in the 1960s, and many Asian Americans faced increased hostility, harassment, and stereotyping as they were wrongly associated with the enemy. (By contrast, the Chinese Exclusion Act was an 1882 law and World War II produced major anti‑Asian discrimination in the 1940s, but the surge in anti‑Asian hostility during the 1960s is tied to the Vietnam War.)
