This is stereotypical of 1960s American south. In fact, many domestic workers were black and some were white or Asian.

in country clubs of that era, all cooks, maitre d's, waiters, attendants were black, and male.

white kids could caddy, there would be white pros, greenskeepers.

that was the old way. kind of like a plantation back in my old kentucky home :)
