Do you really compare what Asians, Irish and Italians experienced to the systematic state-sanctioned discrimination and oppression that Blacks experienced for centuries?
slavery was different (although asians were often conscripted into de facto slavery)
but that was 150 years ago. it's no excuse today
and if we're talking about state-sanctioned discrimination like Jim Crow: yes. they all experienced that
go look up the history of californian jim crow laws. typically based in asian distinctions and not black/white
