If you were non-white you were treated like ish too.
The signs labeled "Colored" weren't just meant for Black people.
Asians, Natives, Mexicans, anyone considered non-white were treated the same as Black people back then.
They weren't allowed to use bathrooms, eat at restaurants, drink from "white" fountains, etc.
That's why BWS in Tulsa flourished, all those non-white people were spending their money because they were treated like actual human beings.
Even Italians were being lynched in the south when they first got here but the Italian government wasn't having it.
The US government apologized and paid those lynched people's families aka reparations.
This is why I don't understand how any minority can tap dance. White folks don't give a damn about you. Misguided fools!
