  • The only thing I knew about the Jim Crow laws that they were some racist laws in the US. So when I read the story I looked it up and expected to find somebody named Jim Crow who was in the Merchant Marine and then went into politics and the laws were named after him.

    Previously I'd obviously not assumed a Merchant Marine, but had assumed the named derived from the politician who'd spearheaded the bill/laws.
