It is important to highlight that Chinese segregation has often been a consequence of deeply rooted prejudice and fear towards Chinese people, fueled by stereotypes such as perceived economic competition, cultural differences, and racism. Over time, societies have recognized the harm caused by such practices and have taken measures to promote equal rights and combat discrimination. Nonetheless, historical legacies and remnants of discriminatory practices can still persist in various forms, requiring ongoing efforts to address and eliminate them. | It is important to highlight that Chinese segregation has often been a consequence of deeply rooted prejudice and fear towards Chinese people, fueled by stereotypes such as perceived economic competition, cultural differences, and racism.

Definition
Chinese segregation refers to the practice of discriminating against individuals of Chinese descent in various aspects of daily life, such as housing, education, employment, and public facilities. This type of segregation has existed in different countries and historical periods, mostly fueled by xenophobia, racism, and stereotypes associated with Chinese people.
One prominent example of Chinese segregation is the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 in the United States, which prohibited Chinese laborers from entering the country and becoming naturalized citizens. This act was the first significant law that aimed to restrict immigration based on an individual's national origin, leading to widespread discrimination and segregation against Chinese immigrants.
Another instance is the segregation that occurred during the colonial era in certain Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia and Singapore. Chinese inhabitants were often subjected to segregation policies that limited their access to education and employment opportunities, as well as restricted their ability to own land or participate in political affairs.
It is important to highlight that Chinese segregation has often been a consequence of deeply rooted prejudice and fear towards Chinese people, fueled by stereotypes such as perceived economic competition, cultural differences, and racism. Over time, societies have recognized the harm caused by such practices and have taken measures to promote equal rights and combat discrimination. Nonetheless, historical legacies and remnants of discriminatory practices can still persist in various forms, requiring ongoing efforts to address and eliminate them.
