THE
Anti-miscegenation . . .
States, and while its membership is largely comprised of persons of Japanese
ancestry, its membership also includes, without limitation, Americans of varied
faiths, creeds and color.
Summary of Argument
The JACL arguments are divided into three sections.
I
Since Pace v. Alabama (1882) the rights, privileges and immunities of
the individual in many facets and spheres of life have, under the Fourteenth
Amendment, been safeguarded to him, free of the odious circumscription of
law based on race.
Vital and all-important as these rights are to the individual and to the
preservation of a democratic society of free men, such rights appear as pal
pable and material ones in contrast to the intimate, personal right of privacy
in marriage. Freedom in marriage concerns one of the most basic and funda
mental rights of the individual, rooted, indeed, in one of man's biological
drives. The mutual exercise by two individuals of such a right—a noble goal
other wise promoted and blessed by society—should not be converted into
a crime or otherwise stigmatized by law merely because of race.
It would constitute a shocking outrage if the anti-miscegenation laws or
that its citizens must marry d
Virginia (and sixteen other States) directed
<
person of a different race. That this same operative principle is geared to
operate in the other direction by the anti-miscegenation statutes makes it no
less demeaning to the citizen and an invidious invasion of a basic, funda
mental right.
Rather, the freedom of choice—the freedom of choice not to marry a
person of another race as well as the freedom to marry without regard to
race — should and must reside with the individual, not with, the government.
Pace v. Alabama, supra, is not authority for sustaining anti-micegenation laws. First, the limited view (of Pace) of the Equal Protection Clause has
not withstood analysis in the subsequent decisions of this Court. Secondly,
it is respectfully but firmly submitted that the narrow view expressed in Pace
was inherently faulty and misleading. What Pace failed to consider was
whether or not ‘the same punishment to boil; offenders, the white and the
black’, would have been meted out if there had been two males, one white
and one Negro, who had been guilty of identical acts . . . with the same
female (white or black); it is clear that the punishment would differ and differ solely because of race. The same inequities would apply with even more
gross injustice in the enforcement of anti-miscegenation laws, for miscegenous
couples would be punished for an act, i.e. marriage, which is not only otherwise legal but which -also is actually otherwise encouraged and blessed
by the state.
II
Where the exercise of state police power 'trenches upon the constitutionally protected freedom from invidious discrimination based, on race’ such
state .policy
'bears a heavy burden of justification' . . . Virginia's
_
. in support
of its anti-miscegenation laws has been expressed in terms of maintaining
'purity of public morals', 'the preservation of racial integrity’ and to prevent
a ’mongrel breed of citizens' as well as 'obliteration of racial pride1. Even
assuming arguendo such objectives to be valid state interests (and within
this racist context we cannot accept such assumption), since all race's other
than white remain free to intermarry with one another and thereby destroy
their racial ’purity’, 'integrity' and 'pride', the insidious sophism of Virginia's
state policy, as well as those of the sixteen other states with anti-miscegenation laws, is readily exposed as a racist, 'white supremacy' law which is
repugnant 'to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine
of equality.'
Ill
Anti-miscegenation statutes have grown out of fundamental misconcep
tions of fact and serve no useful public purpose. The use of racial classifica
tion as a basis upon which to regulate the actions of individuals must be im
mediately suspect because such classifications are necessarily arbitrary and
incapable of precise application.
The stated purpose of the anti-miscegenation laws is to preserve pure
races which the legislators thought were separate and distinct entities, but
this clearly is not so and there is no such thing as a pure race. Underlying
purpose is to preserve racial superiority — of the white race only—but there
is no proof that the white race is superior.
Moreover, the entire concept of a 'master race’ is repugnant to our societ.
When the fictitious foundations of these laws have been dispelled, the only
remaining purpose is to preserve differences, such as skin color, nose size or
hair types, which are clearly not valid bases of legislation.
Finally, the laws must fall because they contain standards of proof which
are impossible of application and are unconstitutionally vague. Such statutes,
the surviving vestige of an era of exploitation and ignorance, cannot be
tolerated.
Outline of Argument
The outline of JACL’s case is presented in the brief as follows:
I. It is respectfully but firmly urged that Pace v. Alabama
should be overruled not only because the reasoning in that early
case is inconsistent with subsequent decisions of this Could but
also because the reasoning in that case was and is inherently fal
lacious.
(A) The reasoning of Pace v. Alabama is inconsistent with
the subsequent decisions of this Court and such reasoning should
no longer be given any currency.
(B) The exercise or imposition of governmental laws or power
based on race has no proper place in controlling, or seeking to
control, the fundamental, basic and highly personal right of marb‘iage.
*
(C) The reasoning of Pace was and is inherently misleading
and thereby faulty.
II. Virginia’s anti-miscegenation laws, as well as such laws
the
remaining sixteen states with anti-miscegenation statutes,
in
violate the right to “equal protection of the laws” not only as to
its non-white citizens but also as to its white citizens.
III. Anti-miscegenation statutes are based on fundamental
misconceptions of fact which render them unconstitutionally ar
bitrary and vague and which bear no relationship to any legitimate
legislative purpose.
(A) Racial clarification necessarily requires arbitrary selec
tion of population groups and its use for purposes of legislation
must be highly suspect.
(B) Statutes based on racial discrimination serve no public
purpose and are therefore invalid.
(1) Racial purity cannot be preserved because racial purity
does not exist.
(2) Preservation of racial superiority is neither a meaningful
nor legitimate statutory purpose, (a) The myths of racial super
iority developed along with the original misconceptions of race,
(b) There is no basis of equating race and cultural potential, (c)
There is no basis for the belief in biological superiority, (d) Miscegenation is not biologically harmful, (e) The preservation of
racial superiority is not a fit purpose of legislation (f) When
the myths are stripped away, the anti-miscegenation statutes are
exposed as being totally without valid public purpose.
Japanese May Be Affected
The
anti-miscegenation
statutes must fail because they
(C)
provide standards of proof which are impossible of application
and are unconstitutionally vague.
Early in the JACL brief, specific references are made which
use Japanese as examples of what might happen to certain per
tone of certain races under certain circumstances.
Arguing that these anti-miscegenation laws discriminate as
much against the rights to marry of a white person as that of a
non-white. the JACL Friend of the Court brief raises an interest
ing confusion.
“Aside from the question of vagueness arising from statutes,
courts and juries seeking to do what anthropologists with their
scientific expertise have difficulty doing, namely, attempt to
formulate and classify races of mankind, there also exist insidious
uncertainties as well as confusion in these anti-miscegenation laws.
“For further example, under Virginia’s penal provisions . . .
criminality applies only to intermarriages of a ‘white person’ and
a ‘colored* person’ and . . . defines a ‘colored person’ as any person

States, and while its membership is largely comprised of persons of Japanese
ancestry, its membership also includes, without limitation, Americans of varied
faiths, creeds and color.
Summary of Argument
The JACL arguments are divided into three sections.
I
Since Pace v. Alabama (1882) the rights, privileges and immunities of
the individual in many facets and spheres of life have, under the Fourteenth
Amendment, been safeguarded to him, free of the odious circumscription of
law based on race.
Vital and all-important as these rights are to the individual and to the
preservation of a democratic society of free men, such rights appear as pal
pable and material ones in contrast to the intimate, personal right of privacy
in marriage. Freedom in marriage concerns one of the most basic and funda
mental rights of the individual, rooted, indeed, in one of man's biological
drives. The mutual exercise by two individuals of such a right—a noble goal
other wise promoted and blessed by society—should not be converted into
a crime or otherwise stigmatized by law merely because of race.
It would constitute a shocking outrage if the anti-miscegenation laws or
that its citizens must marry d
Virginia (and sixteen other States) directed
<
person of a different race. That this same operative principle is geared to
operate in the other direction by the anti-miscegenation statutes makes it no
less demeaning to the citizen and an invidious invasion of a basic, funda
mental right.
Rather, the freedom of choice—the freedom of choice not to marry a
person of another race as well as the freedom to marry without regard to
race — should and must reside with the individual, not with, the government.
Pace v. Alabama, supra, is not authority for sustaining anti-micegenation laws. First, the limited view (of Pace) of the Equal Protection Clause has
not withstood analysis in the subsequent decisions of this Court. Secondly,
it is respectfully but firmly submitted that the narrow view expressed in Pace
was inherently faulty and misleading. What Pace failed to consider was
whether or not ‘the same punishment to boil; offenders, the white and the
black’, would have been meted out if there had been two males, one white
and one Negro, who had been guilty of identical acts . . . with the same
female (white or black); it is clear that the punishment would differ and differ solely because of race. The same inequities would apply with even more
gross injustice in the enforcement of anti-miscegenation laws, for miscegenous
couples would be punished for an act, i.e. marriage, which is not only otherwise legal but which -also is actually otherwise encouraged and blessed
by the state.
II
Where the exercise of state police power 'trenches upon the constitutionally protected freedom from invidious discrimination based, on race’ such
state .policy
'bears a heavy burden of justification' . . . Virginia's
_
. in support
of its anti-miscegenation laws has been expressed in terms of maintaining
'purity of public morals', 'the preservation of racial integrity’ and to prevent
a ’mongrel breed of citizens' as well as 'obliteration of racial pride1. Even
assuming arguendo such objectives to be valid state interests (and within
this racist context we cannot accept such assumption), since all race's other
than white remain free to intermarry with one another and thereby destroy
their racial ’purity’, 'integrity' and 'pride', the insidious sophism of Virginia's
state policy, as well as those of the sixteen other states with anti-miscegenation laws, is readily exposed as a racist, 'white supremacy' law which is
repugnant 'to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine
of equality.'
Ill
Anti-miscegenation statutes have grown out of fundamental misconcep
tions of fact and serve no useful public purpose. The use of racial classifica
tion as a basis upon which to regulate the actions of individuals must be im
mediately suspect because such classifications are necessarily arbitrary and
incapable of precise application.
The stated purpose of the anti-miscegenation laws is to preserve pure
races which the legislators thought were separate and distinct entities, but
this clearly is not so and there is no such thing as a pure race. Underlying
purpose is to preserve racial superiority — of the white race only—but there
is no proof that the white race is superior.
Moreover, the entire concept of a 'master race’ is repugnant to our societ.
When the fictitious foundations of these laws have been dispelled, the only
remaining purpose is to preserve differences, such as skin color, nose size or
hair types, which are clearly not valid bases of legislation.
Finally, the laws must fall because they contain standards of proof which
are impossible of application and are unconstitutionally vague. Such statutes,
the surviving vestige of an era of exploitation and ignorance, cannot be
tolerated.
Outline of Argument
The outline of JACL’s case is presented in the brief as follows:
I. It is respectfully but firmly urged that Pace v. Alabama
should be overruled not only because the reasoning in that early
case is inconsistent with subsequent decisions of this Could but
also because the reasoning in that case was and is inherently fal
lacious.
(A) The reasoning of Pace v. Alabama is inconsistent with
the subsequent decisions of this Court and such reasoning should
no longer be given any currency.
(B) The exercise or imposition of governmental laws or power
based on race has no proper place in controlling, or seeking to
control, the fundamental, basic and highly personal right of marb‘iage.
*
(C) The reasoning of Pace was and is inherently misleading
and thereby faulty.
II. Virginia’s anti-miscegenation laws, as well as such laws
the
remaining sixteen states with anti-miscegenation statutes,
in
violate the right to “equal protection of the laws” not only as to
its non-white citizens but also as to its white citizens.
III. Anti-miscegenation statutes are based on fundamental
misconceptions of fact which render them unconstitutionally ar
bitrary and vague and which bear no relationship to any legitimate
legislative purpose.
(A) Racial clarification necessarily requires arbitrary selec
tion of population groups and its use for purposes of legislation
must be highly suspect.
(B) Statutes based on racial discrimination serve no public
purpose and are therefore invalid.
(1) Racial purity cannot be preserved because racial purity
does not exist.
(2) Preservation of racial superiority is neither a meaningful
nor legitimate statutory purpose, (a) The myths of racial super
iority developed along with the original misconceptions of race,
(b) There is no basis of equating race and cultural potential, (c)
There is no basis for the belief in biological superiority, (d) Miscegenation is not biologically harmful, (e) The preservation of
racial superiority is not a fit purpose of legislation (f) When
the myths are stripped away, the anti-miscegenation statutes are
exposed as being totally without valid public purpose.
Japanese May Be Affected
The
anti-miscegenation
statutes must fail because they
(C)
provide standards of proof which are impossible of application
and are unconstitutionally vague.
Early in the JACL brief, specific references are made which
use Japanese as examples of what might happen to certain per
tone of certain races under certain circumstances.
Arguing that these anti-miscegenation laws discriminate as
much against the rights to marry of a white person as that of a
non-white. the JACL Friend of the Court brief raises an interest
ing confusion.
“Aside from the question of vagueness arising from statutes,
courts and juries seeking to do what anthropologists with their
scientific expertise have difficulty doing, namely, attempt to
formulate and classify races of mankind, there also exist insidious
uncertainties as well as confusion in these anti-miscegenation laws.

a ‘colored* person’ and . . . defines a ‘colored person’ as any person
