Application of The Laws To Other Non Jewish Groups
A supplemental decree issued in November 1935 expanded the Blood Protection Law to include additional groups, specifically Romani and Negroes, that were considered to be a threat to German blood. The interpretation of "racially alien blood" was further expanded in subsequent decrees, which included special categories for Germans with mental and genetic deformities.
The legal and administrative machinery necessary to enforce the Reich Citizenship Law fell under the jurisdiction of Reich Minister of the Interior William Frick, who expanded the law's reach to "members of other races whose blood is not related to German blood, as, for example, Gypsies and Negroes."
Criteria defining who was a Gypsy were exactly twice as strict as those defining any other group.
