A "colored person" was someone who was neither white nor black. However, Chinese were classified as “colored people and Japanese were classified as white.

Controlled: • whom one could marry • where one could reside and own property • what schools and universities one would be allowed to attend • Which jobs were reserved for one • The state dictated to sports clubs whom they could admit as members • Who they were permitted to compete • The sick had to be conveyed in racially exclusive ambulances, could receive blood transfusions only from donors of their own racial groups • Qualified for treatment only in racially defined hospitals • Attending church services in some regions was regulated • Where one could be buried.
