Although racism and segregation had not been a problem in Pacífica compared to other North American nations, it still had a significant presence. In 1960, three African-Pacífican teens were falsely imprisoned for the murder of sixteen year old [[Murder of Shelley Tate|Shelley Tate]] in {{w|Las Vegas}}, Vegas. This caused an outrage among civil rights activists, who protested the boy's imprisonment.
