"If there is reasonable cause to disbelieve that applicants are of pure white race, when that fact is stated, the clerk or deputy clerk shall withhold the granting of the license until satisfactory proof is produced that both applicants are “white persons” as provided for in this act."
Community Village's insight:
Reading the last line of the registraion card, notice the language of the law shows concern for the "purity" of white (even though Europeans range from pink, to orange, to brown).
The laws could have been written to show concern in keeping people of color "pure", but the myth of white supremecy didn't make room for that type of thinking in the laws. Delete the scoop?

"... I would suggest that the next cereal commercial produced could depict the same family sitting together at the breakfast table eating a bowl of Cheerios. It will be good for their hearts, and ours too." -Steven F. Riley
