Labour in the postbellum south was generally very cheap, with no shortage of poor whites doing the exact same jobs as blacks.

All of these countries are much poorer than the US and people who can afford to drive usually prefer that. There's precious few examples of places where driving is a realistic option and it isn't preferred to busses.

My grandparents who remembered those days were very clear that the reason was to prevent blacks and whites from interbreeding. Nobody cared if black and white men mingled, although they usually didn't. Black and white women worked alongside each other regularly. But southern states briefly experimented with segregating their high schools by gender after brown v board. Racial vitriol was strongest for black men mixing with white women.

The desegregated subway was safe for years. Progressives didn't like it, but it was safe despite equal policing.

Waitress is a mostly female job in the US, but they aren't selected for attractiveness.

US schools actually do do a very fine job of teaching, comparisons are just compiled on the basis of comparing scores between poor black kids in the inner cities and the kids of the Japanese elite so the education system can pitch a bigger fit about 'inadequate resources'.

It’s worth noting that twitterati who have crunched thé numbers found, unsurprisingly, that high income men prefer women with high education while having little preference on income.
IIRC the most common job for the wives of high earning men, like for women from wealthy families generally, is 'k-12 teacher', narrowly beating out 'homemaker'.
