The author uses the word "restrictive" to apply to the prejudice during this time period. What impact did these prejudices have on Coleman? Cite evidence to support your answer.

When the war ended, a friend, Robert S. Abbott, the
founder of the Chicago Defender, one of the most popular
black-owned and -operated newspapers in the country,
suggested that Coleman go to France, where racial prejudice
was not as restrictive as it was in America.
Even though the
United States was the birthplace of flight, it was slower than
other countries to develop an organized aviation program.
European leaders immediately saw the commercial and
military advantages of a strong national aviation program.
Bessie knew from her reading that both French and German
aircraft were among the best in the world.
Coleman had also read about Eugene Jacques Bullard, the
well-decorated[1] and highly honored native of Georgia who
had become the first African-American to fly an airplane in
combat as a member of the French Lafayette Flying Corps
during World War I. Other blacks had gone to Europe to
get their training, too.
Coleman realized that if she were
ever going to get a chance to fly, she, too, would have to go
to France. But she didn’t have any money to get there, and
besides, she couldn’t speak a word of French.
For almost two years, Coleman worked part-time as a
manicurist and as a server in a Chicago chili parlor and saved
every penny to finance her trip to France. Meanwhile she
learned to speak French, so when the time came, she’d be able
to understand her instructors.
