The Incident At Bamber Bridge—The British stand up for Black American soldiers

This resulted from the U.S. demanding that an English town segregate a pub serving white and black servicemen.
That is, "Yanks" went into another country demanding the local people accommodate their racism.

We had more than our fair share of racism, before and after WW2, particularly at times of economic stress or social dislocation. But during a war in which everyone is experiencing hardship, segregation seems especially pointless.
