I feel ambivalent about removing segregation when you're making a depiction of 1950s Americana. Because on one hand, just as you can't truly make an anti war film, making a show where segregation is truly explored is not something a lot of people (Especially white people) have the skill and background to realize, on the other it is a dishonest view of history that glosses over the historical crimes committed against minorities.
The prologue of the show is supposed to be set in the late 21st century, so they can get away with getting rid of segregation in the pre-war period without delving into the issue all that much. Supposedly, the reason why pre-war America is still locked in the 50's aesthetic despite being set in the future is because they hadn't made significant advancements in developing the microchip in that timeline, and so instead of advancing to the digital era, most tech remained based on big and bulky analogue computing.
