It is common to hear stories of village pubs. Where the white GIs asked them to not allow black GIs. And the locals instead welcomed the black GIs.
My grandmother told me of one in her village. And how a friend married one of the black GIs.
Racism deffinatly existed at the time. More so in many cities. But when brits are told to lower someone’s status by visitors. They tended to side with the downtrodden.
