Chinese immigrants were treated very poorly by the Central Pacific Railroad company, as well as their home state of California. They were paid significantly less than white workers of the same skill level. They also weren't provided with complementary food and shelter like the white workers. They were given the most dangerous of the available jobs. As for California, the state passed laws keeping them from voting or becoming citizens, segregating their children from schools, and unfairly taxing them.

Being discriminated against for your religion
Some of the hardships they faced were little food, they ate once during their working hours. They worked long hours for little money, and they ranged from 10yo and up. They were attacked by Indians and the mountain paths were treacherous, building bridges and tunnels through them were hazardous acts. They got through these problems with perseverance and hard work, they defended themselves against the Indians, they tied themselves up with rope whilst building bridges and were extra careful to watch for collapsing in the tunnels. and eventually, they successfully finished the Transcontinental Railroad. Hope this helped :)
right to be treated equally and not discriminated against

They discriminated in that punishments for crimes were not the same for the Chinese.
Cesar Chavez was discriminated against for several reasons. It would be almost impossible for a Latino farm worker not to have been discriminated against, especially during his time.
