| Alcohol exclusion laws | Alcohol exclusion laws were passed in the 1940s in the United States to discourage people from drinking alcoholic beverages and to save insurance companies money from alcohol-related claims (George Washington University Medical Center, 2005). It was believed that people would be less likely to drive while impaired or intoxicated if insurance companies could deny medical payments or other claims associated with any injuries associated with the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

| Chinese Exclusion | Chinese Exclusion refers to a body of racially discriminatory immigration policies first set up in the US, but later imitated by Australia (White Australia policy, 1901) and Canada (1923). The American Chinese Exclusion Act was an immigration policy instituted in May, 1882 designed initially to keep Chinese laborers from immigrating to the US, although in practice it targeted all but a select handful of Chinese elites from coming to America. It is largely recognized as one of the major defining events of Chinese American history, and of American immigration history, as it defines the first time in American history that a racial or ethnic group was barred from coming to the US.
