Thank you for your example, that's interesting! I guess the story can also be interpreted the other way around:
Employers were only willing to hire black people because they were worked for lower wages, because they exactly knew that their labour was being considered less worth that that of white people?
So introducing the minimum wage just made the racism obivous and I'm sure problems would also have arisen if the minimum wage had never been introduced and the black minority would have been forced to slave away on minimal incomes their whole life.
