Answer:

The Zoot suit riots symbolized a series of violent acts against Mexican-Americans

Step-by-step explanation:

The zoot suit was a style of suit that was in fashion in 1940.

This outfit became popular with Mexican-American youth.

The Zoot suit riots were a series of violent acts that occurred in 1943 against Mexican American youths and other ethnic groups wearing these suits.

The violent acts were experienced in Los Angeles where the marines and soldiers returned from the war, which had a series of conflicts with the zoot suits.
