I was listening to KABC today and a caller said their parents wanted her at a better high school and the current school would not release her. They were given a sheet of paper with 50 ethnicity’s to choose from to “qualify”. She is a redhead with blue eyes so they choose Indian.... that did not work so they used a friends street address near the school to qualify.
This was in the late 60’s so it has been ongoing for a long time.
