This is also the height of anti-immigrant fervor in the United States. This is 9 years after the Johnson-Reed Act (Immigration Act of 1924) [1], which basically tried to ban all immigration from Asia.

There is a great Hasan Minhaj episode that showed how Asian populations in the US owe their presence a lot to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which passed during the Civil Rights era [2, 3].
