Pleasant racism?

I liked the movie overall but I thought that the part where the town separated into coloreds and the black and white people was a kinda messed up. I understand that the movie made intentional allusions to the civil rights movement where in the south certain businesses did not allow coloreds into their shops. But I thought that the way the town wanted to integrate the town back together sent a bad message. The rules of conduct to ensure that everyone found the town and its inhabitants was pleasant would not work because the coloreds were not going to give up their new found pleasures of a less restrictive world. When the mayor tried David and Bill Johnson, the cafe owner, David decided that the only way for the town to accept colored people was to make everyone a colored person. On one level this says that in order for society to accept all races is for everyone to be the same race. Or a less negative interpreatation could be that in order to accept race everyone needs to be more open minded and realize that everyone feels the same things no matter their race.
