Black people in the South may disagree with you that were still feeling the remnants of Jim Crow - which my still living parents grew up in. I can guarantee you a lot of people “hated them”.

Ask Ruby Bridges - 71 years old - how much people hated her for just going to elementary school.

Of course we can always find a marginalized people for any generation. I am speaking as a white male though and not for everyone else.

Of course things were great for White men when an entire part of the US population were kept out of opportunities by law. “Separate but Equal” was the law of the land from 1898 to the 1950s. As were laws against interracial marriage until 1969.

This isn’t de facto marginalization this was encoded into the law.
