Evidence

In the particular event the receptionist refused to register the woman of color, and showed disbelief about a white man and a woman of color sharing a room. In order to know why this was unacceptable you need to have knowledge of how it should have been: the receptionist is supposed to file both names in the computer upon demand, and is not supposed to question, let alone disapprove of, a couple. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1503 (#expands, via linked claim)
