Original Note:
The case at issue was about whether people of Indian descent were “white” for the purposes of the U.S.’s naturalization law, not for visa quotas. Under the explicitly racist pre-1965 law, only “free white” people could become citizens. The Supreme Court rejected the argument. https://twitter.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/1669923293531459584?s=20
