think of mean girls (2004) 60's style. these women are bitchy. a bunch of racists to their maids, and intolerant of others who are a tad different from them. the queen bee's motto, played with malicious perfection by bryce dallas howard, separate but equal. that refers to the outdoor toilets reserved for the coloured maids, which pretty much applies to everything else from cutlery to not being visible at all.
it's a good story but it's a vanilla way to describe the horrendous treatment received by african americans at that time. and it was the 60's, mind you, which is really not that far off from recent times.
