Talk:Shag Thomas

Segregation

 * Thomas began wrestling during a time when segregation in professional wrestling was still taking place in some territories and promotions throughout the United States. He gained prominence while wrestling in the NWA Pacific Northwest Territory for promoter Don Owen. Owen did not segregate his wrestlers...

See Jim Crow laws. Oregon was pretty far removed from what would normally be considered a Jim Crow state (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that). Therefore, I fail to see how this is relevant other than to drive home the point that segregation was prevalent in the business back then.
