Sadly, this terrible situation was a fact of life for many Americans for many years.

African Americans were not able to move safely until the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Here is a series of websites about their problems: https://negromotoristgreenbook.si.edu/

In the 1950s, women could be forcibly checked for possible STDs on the say of a policeman: https://www.history.com/news/chamberlain-kahn-act-std-venereal-disease-imprisonment-women

Attacks against Jewish people have been frequent, and continue to today: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antisemitic_incidents_in_the_United_States

All of these are wrong and terrible... but they have happened for centuries in the United States.
