Under Title 20, Section 54 of a Virginia law passed in 1924, white Virginians are permitted to marry only whites-those who have "no trace whatever of any blood other than Caucasian."

...trial, longest and one of the most controversial in Hawaii's history, lasted 72 months, during which time 83 witnesses gave more than 3,500,000 words of testimony. The jury of Americans of Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian and Caucasian strains took only 16 hours to arrive at a guilty verdict...
