Ex parte Ah Yup (1878)
¢Framing the Issue:
¢“The only question is,
whether the statute authorizes the naturalization of
a native of China of the Mongolian race.”
¢“The questions are: 1.
Is a person of the Mongolian race a ‘white person within
the meaning of the statute? 2. Do these provisions exclude
all but white persons and persons of African
nativity or African descent?”
