> btw, russians are officially considered colored in US as I understand.
As far as I'm aware, Russians were never subject to Jim Crowe laws.
There was, however, a significant surge in discrimination against Slavic (mainly Polish) immigrants in the early 20th century. See "The Polish Peasant in Europe & America" by Thomas & Znaniecki, which is considered to be one of the foundational texts in modern sociology.
That, however, more or less went away in the mid-late 20th century.
