In United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923) , what was the Supreme Court's decision regarding Thind's classification as White?

The Supreme Court ruled that Thind did not qualify as White under the naturalization law, even though he argued that scientific racial classifications placed him among Caucasians. The Court said the law’s meaning of “White” depended on the understanding of the ordinary person, not scientific criteria. Therefore, the correct choice is “He was not classified as White based on the common man’s understanding of White.”
