Funny, when I was about 30 I knew what kind of language was racist and was able to control my mouth. And he knew his words were being recorded and to be published which maybe might have made a person more reticent about expressing beliefs that in 1971 were already certain to be seen as racist. This is not a recollection of a chat he privately had with a couple of friends.
Facts are always fun. I have no idea what racist words Mr. Wayne may have uttered in his 30's but your posting of his age was a bit off. He was born in 1909 thus was in his early 60's when those words were spoken.
