Chinese immigration patterns differed from the European immigration patterns that characterized much of the mid-19th century because:
  1. Chinese immigrants built very small and insular communities, making their presence largely invisible.
  2. Chinese immigrants were the first non-English speaking immigrant group to come to America.
  3. Chinese immigrants integrated easily into existing white communities.
  4. Many Chinese immigrants returned to China rather than permanently settling.
  5. Chinese workers received higher wages that European immigrants.
Explanation
Answer: D - Chinese immigration patterns differed from those of other immigrant groups because many Chinese immigrants would return to their native lands after earning money in the United States. This pattern was typical for many Asian immigrant groups, and would characterize the immigration of Eastern Europeans at the turn of the 20th century as well. This pattern also meant that few Asian women came to the United States.
