I never approached her to introduce myself or say Hi, but at the time I never approached many of the girls. Do not know how the other guys and girls treated her.
Now, if I saw someone outside the norm being unattended, I. would go out of my way to include.
Was I a racist in 1966?

If you had approached her only because she was black, you would have been pandering. The worst side of being a “Karen”.
