Dear AskHistorians, what was life like for non-African-Americans in the U.S. during segregation? Could, for example, a Chinese man use the white water fountain? Could an Indian (from India) woman sit at the same counter as whites?

Oops, I meant to say non-African-American minorities.

There's an entire section of the FAQ devoted to the question: How were other minorities treated during the period of racial segregation in America? Are they helpful for your question? Do they prompt any further questions, or do other people here maybe have more data to contribute?

Hey there!

I've answered this question previously here, but i'll happily answer any follow-ups to the best of my ability.
