"Winogrand was not simply reacting to a strange moment, but probably also to racial tensions sweeping the country at the height of the Civil Rights movement. The year... black actors won Academy Awards, and the U.S. Supreme Court overturned state laws banning interracial marriage."

Given the pithy nature of Katie Miller's counter here to Bakari Sellers' corrections, I offer the silliest musings - I have trouble deciding if Katie Miller looks more like a relative of Alicia Keys or Tatiana Wechsler...or perhaps a second cousin to Dania Ramirez...

And very true, there are far less Anglo-Saxons in what we consider the 'white' population in the United States. 'White' is a fairly elastic term in the U.S., for example, recent census data includes people of Arab descent as 'white'; e.g., in our USA past, Polish people and Italian people were not.
