Japanese are not an inferior race; they are our equals in intellect. They can learn, they can think, they can invent, and their ability to labor is equal to ours; they are proud, valiant and courageous, but they are not of our race, not of our blood. In the offspring of a marriage between a Mongol and a Caucasian the characteristics of the Mongol always predominate. All elements of a race that cannot come here and mix with us, become blood of our blood and bone of our bone, without degrading or debasing us, must be kept out. -- JUSTICE OF THE PEACE ISIDOR GOLDEN.
