https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugly_law

In 1881, a Chicago alderman named James Peevey described the beggars on his city streets as human “street obstructions.” Peevey was instrumental in pushing an ordinance through the city council that prohibited any person who is “diseased, maimed, mutilated, or in any way deformed, so as to be an unsightly or disgusting object” from being in the “public view.”

For the crime of being “unsightly,” beggars could be charged anywhere from $1 to $50 — or up to about $1100 in today’s dollars. Those who weren’t able to pay were sent to poorhouses.

Westerners need to stay out of Japan, their fat ugly pig bodies mess up the place (Tokyo).

They need a law like that there too.

I don't count because I'm HafuFraud-ing.

Why just they didn't euthanize ugly people if they were so open about their feelings towards us back then.

Why do you keep relating everything to Japan?

You people are fucking braindead if you actually think this is about facial attractiveness.

Why not just make the penalty banishment to poorhouses right off the bat? Like any beggars could afford to "pay" anything. How absurd.
 
This law obviously targeted beggars who exposed deformities and sickness for pity (as was very common at the time), not "ugly" people in general (most men were ugly back then, including this lawmaker probably)
 
Its basically still is illegal
 
I can't show up in public? Ok, government, send me monthly NEETbux, exempt me from all taxes and deal.
