When I bought my house in 2000, I received the original deed which stipulated that persons of Asian descent could not own a home up here in this part of Fullerton. Of course, I felt great vindication buying the house. Things like this weren't uncommon then.

Yeah, I'd have to say it's sad that Suddock didn't do more research and get a MUCH deeper story, one with some balls. I mean, his work is only as interesting as he's willing to make it. As for Jepson, well, sometimes his lack of wanting to confront the nitty-gritty is part and parcel of OC.

Why is this news? This pinchi, fucked up county has done its best to mother-fucken' whitewash or entirely hide its despicable history at all costs. This dates back to county origins and beyond. Whether it involves any of our fine institutions, the evidence is there: Politics (props 187, 8, John Wayne, Nixon Birthhole, Papi Pendejo Pulido, Father Vaquez, etc), Overt Rascism (restrictive covenants such as the one you mention, KKK majority in exotic Anaheim), Religion (is the OC Diocese in da' house?), Education (Mendez v. Pre-Columbian Neo-Nazi Westminster), Financial (what bankruptcy?) Social (day laborers), and more.... Orange County, stop your John Wayne romanticism and view reality for what it is: REAL. And by that I don't mean real as in the Real Housewives of OC. Their boobs ain't real but I would still titty fuck them anyway.

My wife's grandparents encountered the same thing when they tried to buy a house in then-new Lakewood back in the 50's. You guessed it, Gustavo; abuelito was of Mexican descent. They finally were able to buy in Lakewood once gramps raised a bit of scene about how he was born in the USA, was fluent in English and had served our country in WW2 (just like most of the gringos who were buying then in Lakewood). I suppose the fact that grams was a white woman helped, too.
