In 'Red Sky at Morning,' Richard Bradford's novel based on a somewhat
fictionalized 1940s Santa Fe, a character says "We only recognize 3
kinds of people in Sagrado: Anglos, Indians, and Natives."..."But what
about the Negro?" "I already explained that to you. He's an Anglo.
That is, he's an Anglo unless you're differentiating between him and
an Indian. Then he's 'white.'"
