The Supreme Court decision in "Lum v. Rice" has to do with the history of Chinese Americans. The court held that Miss Lum was not denied equal protection of the law because she was given the opportunity to attend a school which "receive[d] only children of the brown, yellow or black races". However, Chinese-Americans in the Mississippi Delta began to identify themselves with whites and ended their friendship with the black community in Mississippi.<answer
