Bathroom signs

I encountered this bathroom sign in the new subway line (Fukutoshin).
Weird segregation practices here though -- a bathroom for black people & the Polish.
It seemed very reminiscent of the South pre-1960s.
Any guesses as to why this said it? I will elaborate in comments.

Oh, I don't know "Wevster", why don't you just tell us?

Well, the ladies' bathroom said "white/elegance" -- so it was some sort of mangled English theme, but when I first saw it, I though "only for Blacks & Poles? that's some weird segregation"
