Commission on Civil Rights recently recounted this most unfortunate part of California history in his testimony before the subcommittee of the House Committee on the Judiciary on June 8. 1972. Commissioner Ruiz stated: If you recall. we had antioriental legislation in Section 804 of the State of California Education Law. I recall. when I was permitted to practice law. the children of Japanese. Chinese. Mongolian. and Indian parents could be segregated. there were no laws against the black segregation. And they were segregating the MexicanAmericans in the public school system in California because they had Indian blood. I recall. the reason they did it was they misinterpreted the article with respect to the Indian being antioriental legislation.
