This article covers an important topic but presents an incomplete history. In "The Color of Law", Richard Rothstein carefully documents the history of racial covenants. Lenders and other companies involved in real estate didn't necessarily want to discriminate in this way, but they were forced to by a series of federal policies enacted by Congress and executive agencies over decades. Rothstein even specifically discusses Ladera.
