“[Mendez’s lаwyer] retаined аs an expert witness Dr. Ralph Deals, head оf UCLA’s Anthrоpоlogy Department, who testified that separating Mexican American children from White children would stamp the Mexican American children with a badge of inferiority and the White children with a badge of superiority and that such practice would lead to unproductive Mexican American citizens. He also testified that Nazi Germany had recently labeled as inferior such people as Jews and Gypsies but that America should not follow such attitudes and practices…. Court records show that [the district superintendent’s] testimony included opinions that Mexicans are inferior in personal hygiene, ability, and the economic outlook, which prompted [Mendez’s lawyer] to compare him to Hitler. [The district superintendent] also testified that “he would never allow a Latino child to attend an all-White school even if that child met all the qualifications to attend such a school.” Why did Mendez’s lawyer mention Nazis and Hitler in the arguments before the court during the 1949 case? A. The lawyer believed Mexican-Americans to be inferior people. B. The lawyer admired Nazi educational theory. C. The lawyer knew that the Second World War was fresh in people’s minds. D.
