Where would an African or a Caribbean immigrant sit? If someone immigrated from Jamaica, Nigeria, Haiti, Congo, etc. Would they still be told to sit in the back of the bus with their American counterparts? Also where did Puerto Ricans and Virgin Islanders sit at on the bus when they arrived in the mainland? Where did Asians and Natives sit?
Black was black, friend, they didn’t ask where you were born and let you stay at the front of the bus just because you weren’t born in America.
This is a common question, here is an older but still applicable thread with a great answer from /u/dubstripsquad.
