The societal norms of A Brave New World and why they are wrong.

In A Brave New World author Aldous Huxley shows  readers a bleak look at the future. In his future, there are a few social norms the society have to accept.  One of these norms that the society has to accept is that the lower classes are worse than the upper classes and are to be made fun of and treated as non-human beings. This makes me draw connections to pre-civil rights movement America. The lower classes and the way they are treated reminds me of African Americans segregation during the 30's, 40's, 50's, and Early 60's. The Epsilons, and Deltas are separated from the rest of society and treated poorly much like the african americans before the civil rights movement. Meanwhile the Alphas and Betas live nice lives and are allowed many more privileges then the Epsilons and Deltas, such as nicer living conditions much like the white people in pre rights movement America. Although it never happens in a brave new world, people like Dr. King leveled the playing field in terms of rights of different races.  This however brings up an interesting question. Did MLK and the civil rights movement truly end class and race segregation? One example i can think of is that almost all politicians are rich and there is hardly any person of major political power right now who is an every man's man, someone who is just an average joe. I'd like to hear you guy's opinion on the classes in a brave new world and on modern day class segregation.
