In the same way that child labor and minimum wage laws = government meddling.
Minimum wage was implemented to keep the blacks poor and preserve jobs for the whites.....Billybob couldn't have some negro diluting his ability to earn a living wage he argued. But the whites shot themselves in the foot over the long run as most of those jobs did end up moving overseas to colored people.
I don't see anything about that in the Wikipedia article on the act that first introduced minimum wage in the US.
