Why Trump is making Muslims the new Chinese

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/30/opinions/muslims-are-new-chinese-ngai-opinion/index.html

The Chinese have the dubious distinction of being the only group to be 
excluded from the United States explicitly by name.

Sixty years of Chinese Exclusion, which lasted from 1882 to 1943, imposed 
myriad harms on Chinese people. Chinese laborers could not immigrate and no 
Chinese could obtain naturalized citizenship. Chinese who sought entry into 
the United States, such as citizens and merchants exempted from the 
exclusion laws, faced extreme interrogation upon arrival, mostly aimed at 
detecting fraudulent identity claims. Americans now consider Chinese 
Exclusion to be a blight on the nation's history and believe that we are -- 
or should be -- past such blatant racial discrimination.
