To make it more fair?!

I mean have you seen the movie about the black woman needing to go to another office track to go to the toilet?

All of this racist shit is only 70 years old.

The movie is called "Hidden Figures".

Movies tend to exaggerate for a dramatic effect.

Yes, racism existed, segregation existed. The situation you described didn't happen. Katherine G Johnson simply used the bathroom for whites.

Hollywood is not a trustworthy source. For anything.
