One thing that is fun to think about in alternate history timelines is what if segregation had never really ended and carried forward into the Information Age?

Imagine different websites for whites and blacks. You thought responsive design was complicated? Imagine racist design. Perhaps we would have different protocols if a user was white or black. WTCP/WUDP and BTCP/BUDP? Imagine internet architecture being designed such that packets from white users would always be prioritized over black users.
Of course, some black hackers could craft VPNs to spoof your connection to appear as a white user and get faster speeds or access forbidden sites. Imagine white hackers creating viruses or cyber attacks but only against black hosts.
Really, really crazy stuff to think about.
