At least the NASA hires were all "former" nazis, rather than actively practicing. (At least on paper, I'm not actively aware of anyone continuing to be terrible after jumping to the US.)
There seems to be an inordinate amount of racism around the Huntsville Alabama area, and I can't help but wonder if that's partly due to the legacy of operation paperclip.
I guess if we can't find any examples of racism in Alabama before 1946 your theory may have legs.
