The Spaniards look down on the Chinese, the same way as the American or Europeans do. This is the reason why the Chinese built their own towns and cemeteries outside of the walls/communities built by the Spaniards or Americans.
In Rizal's Noli, it was written that the remains of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra's dad was transferred to a Chinese cemetery to segregate him from the non-heretical Catholics. It clearly shows the disdain of the Spaniards against the Chinese.
