Définition(s)
- In 1886's Yick Wo v. Hopkins, the Supreme Court ruled that laws that were race neutral on paper but were applied in a way that discriminated according to race violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This would have had important ramifications for Jim Crow laws, which, like California's anti-Chinese laws, targeted a race without naming it in the language of the law; however, the Supreme Court soon created the “separate but equal” doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson that allowed for certain types of discrimination. [Source: Asian American Society: An Encyclopedia; Yick Wo v. Hopkins]
