I knew that would be the obvious joke but it’s not like that was unfathomable in the fifties. Desegregation was obviously where the world was headed and I’m sure everyone was expecting (or dreading) modern racial relations.
If the 1950’s person was a white man from the deep south, they’d probably still be shocked. Not only can a black man ride the same bus as a white women, but they can be MARRIED as well and have kids.
Heck, that black man could be married to a white man if they so choose.
