Some states believe that the Negro is not the only threat to their racial purity, and therefore forbid whites to marry American Indians, West Indians, Asiatic Indians, Mongolians, Malays, Chinese, Japanese, Africans, "half-breeds," and mestizos.

...China produced a second surprise last week. At Peking airport. Premier Chou En-lai welcomed Outer Mongolia's Premier Yurnzhagiin Tsedenbal, 46, who is normally regarded as a Russian puppet. Whisked off in a black. Soviet-made limousine among crowds dutifully waving Chinese and Mongolian flags, Tsedenbal was put through the usual routine of toasts, banquets and fulsome speeches.
