In the late 1800s, anti-chinese sentiment grew because labor unions promoted the idea that chinese immigrants were taking american jobs by moving into chinatowns. organizing labor unions. intimidating american workers. working for lower pay.

working for lower pay

The correct answer is - working for lower pay.

The anti-Chinese sentiment was growing among the labor unions because the cause for which they have been fighting for, the better working conditions and higher wages, was worth nothing to the Chinese that migrated to the country.

The Chinese immigrants were coming out of a country that was in terrible condition, and most of the population was poor, so the Chinese did not saw any problem in accepting to work for lower wages than what was the standard in the United States. That brought a lot of anti-Chinese sentiment, not just among the labor unions, but also among the workers, as they were feeling that they will lose their jobs because the Chinese will work the same thing for less money, and all owners prefer that.
