The character is fiction. The era is not. I have family who lived through it, some of which are still alive. The stories are gut wrenching. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it didn't happen.
What were the stories that were gut wrenching? Anything worse really than what goes on now? Segregated drinking fountains weren't exactly the Soviet gulags. Southern hospitality was well known even then. The little secret here is that white Southerners were able to enforce white supremacy by generally being polite to blacks in interpersonal interactions.
