  This reminds me of that Supreme Court case from 1923 where the entire case was about deciding “are Indians white”. Crazy how that was not that long ago in historical terms.

    Did they sentence him to being white?

      I looked it up, thinking he was Native American. But he was Sikh (Indian Indian), and arguing his proto-Indo-European ancestry qualified him. He was ‘acquitted’ of being ‘white’, and case thrown out. Really interesting case, actually. Some pretty nasty stuff in there from the plaintiff about his revulsion too and not wanting to marry the ‘lower castes’ (and some argument regarding Mongoloids) to help quantify him as ‘white’ in case you get too sympathetic.
