HOLLADAY Before building a new home in Holladay, Steve Tachiki glanced over his property records to make sure the changes wouldn t get him into trouble.
On the second page of a housing covenant, he found a different sort of requirement, barring anyone other than the caucasian race from owning a home on the property. It was a relic from more than 70 years ago, when racial discrimination was expressly permitted in Utah. It s kind of one of those things where if you re having a dinner party, it s something you kind of pull out and say, Check this out, said Tachicki, who is Japanese American.
