The Chinese Exclusion Act and the Dillingham Report both indicated that there was significant prejudice against immigrants, particularly those from Asia. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 specifically targeted Chinese immigrants, reflecting widespread nativist sentiment and a belief that Chinese individuals were unassimilable and posed a threat to American society. Similarly, the Dillingham Report of 1911 classified various immigrant groups based on supposed qualities and contributions to society, reinforcing stereotypes and negative perceptions particularly towards Southern and Eastern Europeans as well as Asians. Both sources highlight a general nativist attitude that favored certain groups over others, ultimately showing a preference for limiting immigration from specific, often marginalized, populations. Therefore, the correct response is:
There was prejudice against immigrants.
