(edit)
This episode deals with racism, a hot topic back in the mid-to-late 1960s as real-life relations between whites and blacks were strained to the limit, resulting in heavy rioting. The story of white men Jud and Skinner's racist attitudes toward Native Americans illustrates the attitudes and possible consequences quite well.
