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!"
Hmm, I see what you mean. I know when I was a student I'm pretty sure I had a similar kind of question on this subject and the context there was definitely on the abuse they suffered, but I see how it could also mean the other option.
