That's a weird, and kinda creepy question anyway. Fuck em.
Ehh it's testing the kids to see how much they learned of the racism Chinese people faced on the West Coast (North America) back then. It's also a good way to have students ~~emphasize~~ empathize with those experiences too by making them write from that perspective.
Without the context of the class it's hard to know if "talk about your contributions" is meant as "large parts of America were built on the backs of abused Chinese immigrants," or if it's meant to whitewash the experience. E.g., "the immigrants loved the opportunity to contribute to a free western society!"
The wording is sort of forceful, but I assume the goal of the question is to have the students empathize with how things were for a Chinese immigrant at that time.
