12702384, I know a 75 y.o. Chinese-American who grew up in segregated MS

father of a friend.

I believe his history is that it depended on the school district's policy; there were very few individuals outside the white-Black spectrum* so there wasn't widespread agreement on what to do with those outsiders.

When he was very young, he went to the Colored school. His family moved, and in the next town he went to the white school.

I'm not positive that's entirely correct... I can get more details if anyone wants. I know his son-in-law has traveled with him to his last two HS reunions and has done a decent job of keeping track of the family history.




*at least in the school system
