California community still has racist segregation policies in their contracts

Nothing to see here

An El Dorado Hills community has a clear reminder of its racist history—in black and white. In 1959, a “racial occupancy” clause was added to the homeowners’ agreement for people buying in the  Lakeside Estates community.

“No person except those of the white Caucasian race shall use, occupy or reside

upon any residential lot or plot, in this subdivision, except when employed as a servant or domestic in the household of a White Caucasian tenant or owner.”

Cameron Foster and his family just moved into the Lakeside Estates and discovered the old racist wording. They want to change it.

“We had just moved in and our realtor told us that the CC&R had a racial clause that said you couldn’t live here unless you were Caucasian,” he said.

Yeah, you should change that.

The Lakeside subdivision is ethnically diverse now, although not all residents are passionate about taking time to remove the racism rooted in their community’s past.

“I never disputed it because I just figured that people are above that now,” said Judy Barnes, a resident told CBS13.

“It’s not gonna make or break my world,” another resident said.

Well, it’s your community and there are people that are uncomfortable with it and it, by no known form of metrics that I understand, is an unreasonable request on the part of people who think it’s a terrible thing to have in a homeowners’ agreement.
