Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The head tax was a policy implemented by the Canadian government to limit the number of Chinese immigrants entering Canada by imposing a fee of $50 to $500 for each person. This policy was specifically targeted at Chinese immigrants and was not applied to immigrants from other countries, making it an example of institutionalized racism. The other options listed are examples of individual acts of racism and discrimination, but do not involve government policies or laws specifically targeting the Chinese community.
