As a Democrat with Southern roots, Woodrow Wilson encouraged the spread of segregation in Government buildings in Washington DC. While Republican Presidents did try to encourage token integration of African-Americans into Government jobs. Wilson began to actively weed out appointments of African-Americans. He encouraged its growth in the South, and even felt that the movie "The Great White Hope," was an accurate depiction of the Antebellum South. At best, he turned a blind eye to racism in America, at worst, he was a racist.
