"Segregation statutes consistently defined all those without African Ancestry as whites. Texas, for example, defined "colored children" as persons of mixed blood descended from negro ancestry for purposes of its school segregation laws and defined all persons besides those of African descent as white for purposes of its antimiscegenation and Jim Crow laws... Chinese and Mexicans were thus white under state laws governing the segregation of the races."
