Most blacks opposed the bill, and Goebel tried to remain silent on the issue, but when pressed, he admitted in a campaign event in Cloverport that he supported the bill and would oppose its repeal. Likewise, Taylor had tried to dodge the issue of the Separate Coach Bill to avoid upsetting the "lily white" branch of his party, but a week after Goebel took a position in favor of the bill, Taylor came out against it.

In general, most characters speak with a regional accent that reflects both race and social status, including education. Sometimes Ross seems to dodge the issue, as when the involvement of a lone black contestant in Miss Julia's School of Beauty's beauty pageant goes without comment, and in the era of Black Lives Matter it is almost impossible not to question Lillian's trusting response to contact with the local police. However, Miss Julia Takes to the Road deals explicitly with racism when first Little Lloyd and then Lillian ask Miss Julia direct questions about events in the novel. Lillian herself sometimes brings race issues into play, as when she suggests that she'll sleep in a cot when she stays over one night; Miss Julia, though, proves that she is no Miss Ann by insisting that Lillian sleep in one of the guest bedrooms in the bed.
