B. Good choice, you are partially correct. The Chinese were not allowed to mine in the choice areas like the white miners. They often found other ways to earn a living. But, many white miners still treated the Chinese badly. One Chinese who had a laundry near a mining camp did not enjoy Saturday nights. "Saturday was the night for the miners to get drunk. They would force their way into our shop, wrest the clean white bundles from the shelves, and trample the shirts which we had so laboriously finished."
