1 июл 1923 г. - Thind's Case Reveals Discriminatory Racial Practices

Описание:

1923: Thind, an Indian immigrant, also applied for citizenship and was initially granted it. However, the government appealed, arguing Thind wasn't "white" despite evidence suggesting Aryan ancestry.The Supreme Court reversed its own stance from Ozawa, ruling that "white" was based on social perception, not scientific theories, and Thind wouldn't be considered "white" by the average American. These cases exposed the arbitrary and discriminatory nature of using race as a sole criterion for citizenship. They ignited debates about equal protection and immigration policy.
