During the 1950s-1960s in the south of the US, there was another marketing ploy, which was that coloured* people had to sit away from the white people in restaurants, etc. As a maketing ploy, that did rather well, but was proven to be very illegal, so why isn't this? At least the coloured people were still allowed to eat in the restaurant.
*Always though that term was a bit naff, isn't white a colour then?
