Granted he could have walked away but not everyone is so inclined.
Yea, in the '50s,'60s You had Jim Crow Laws in America. White only restarants, schools, water fountains, bathrooms, neighborhoods, etc. The average American You see 60 and up, was probably racist or if not, def doesn't want all that much to do with blacks, minorities, etc. Heck slavery didn't really even abolish until 1900! The residue from this will take a lot longer to wear off, but America def has come a long way. Europe didn't have these laws, and slavery was abolished there a long time ago. Europe though colonized, subjegated people in colonies not in their Countries while America didn't really colonize anybody.
