The Chinese were targeted for immigration restriction due to racism and the view that they were unable to assimilate into American society, resulting in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. The Irish and Germans faced discrimination, but not based on their perceived inability to assimilate. The Japanese also faced discrimination and were later subjected to internment during World War II, but this was not solely based on their ability to assimilate.
