There were no equally standards for minorities in the early 60's. They were free but held to a separate but equal standard. It was widely believed by individuals such as Senator Byrd that blacks were seriously inferior to the superior white race.
The issues of equality came later in the 60's and 70's with equal rights amendments. They forced corporations and groups to view things differently.
The pendulum swung to the left now and it is Ok, by law, to hire a minority over a white male. This can cause resentment in younger people that do not remember then discrimination of the early 60's. Reverse discrimination is equally evil and is an issue that will need to be addressed at some point in the future.
