food etc. was of a lower tier of that of the white workers who were paid substantially better on the gold standard. Of course their housing, medical care, food etc. was of better quality than those paid on the silver standard.

Such situations were typical of the exportation of racist norms by Americans. Nothing unusual about it at all.

This was nosrmal to the Roosevelt admin of the time. TR of course knew of the standards.
