Real estate covenants restricting Jewish ownership was pretty pervasive till post-WWII, along with concomitant perfectly legal social restrictions (club membership, quotas). I feel like that counts as de jure segregation.
I take the point that there is a hard line between people definitely seen as not-white (Blacks, Asians, Natives) & those who were dubiously white ("ethnics") but still within hierarchy there was a lot to effectively exclude dubious whites.

what's your take on Cheryl Harris? Instead of saying "whiteness as property" we should say something like "racial supremacy as property"?
