I think part of the whole "hippie" thing was to marginalize the anti-war movement and associate it with silly young people, drug use and "minorities".

- swimfar 7y agoI've never heard of anyone associating the word "hippy" with being a minority. It's more about beliefs, behavior, and culture.
- calibas 7y agoI didn't mean that hippies were specifically minority races, but that they associated with "minorities" at a time when that was considered scandalous. Back when politicians and the media criticized people for not being racist.
