Plessy v. Fergusson established the "separate but equal" doctrine. Plessy was 1/8 African American, but looked dark. He was riding in the "whites only" section of a railroad car and was kicked off the train because he refused to sit in the "colored" section. The supreme court ruled that public accomodations provide facilities for black and white people.

Does an illegal alien have the right to get a court-appointed attorney in family court?
The question of general rights for illegal aliens is different from this question about family court. This is probably different from state to state, but probably anyone can get court-appointed counsel in most states. A family court issue will almost always involve the safety and well-being of children, and a person's immigration status could then be handled as a separate issue. Family courts probably do not make immigration decisions.
