Which condition enabled the virtual enslavement of Asian

Question

Americans in the late 19th century?

segregation under the separate but equal doctrine
inability to apply the 13th Amendment in certain states
distinctions between the rights of citizens and non-citizens
refusal of the government to protect Asian Americans
from their employers

Answer 1

The condition that enabled the virtual enslavement of Asian Americans in the late 19th century was distinctions between the rights of citizens and non-citizens. Many Asian immigrants were explicitly denied citizenship due to laws and discriminatory practices, which led to their being subjected to exploitative labor conditions and denied basic rights afforded to citizens. This legal status made it easier for employers to treat them unfairly and kept them in a cycle of exploitation.
