She wasn't in the tolerant environment we where in today. Mostly about racism. As in the source

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/07/01/misty-copelands-mentor-the-courageous-black-ballerina-who-defied-racism/ s

he stated that stated,

“I remember one time in Montgomery, Alabama, the tour bus rolled into town, and everyone was running around with white robes and hoods on,” They stopped traffic, there were so many of them. There was a rapping sound on the bus door, and this man jumped on in his hood and gown. Several big strapping male company dancers got up and moved toward him. He threw a fistful of racist pamphlets all over the bus before they chased him out."

and

“That afternoon, when we got to our hotel in Montgomery, a bunch of us went down to the dining room for dinner. When we walked in, it was full of lovely couples, families with little children — a wonderful family atmosphere. Then, as I pulled out my chair, I realized that they all had Ku Klux Klan robes on the seats next to them. I remember thinking, here are people who can be so cruel and ugly, and yet they’re so loving toward their own families.

“In a way it made me less frightened of them. They lost some of their power in my eyes.”

Supports that her environment was a back round of racism, looking down upon her hence the fact that she was black.

I remember thinking, here are people who can be so cruel and ugly, and yet they’re so loving toward their own families. “In a way it made me less frightened of them. They lost some of their power in my eyes.” This supports that her environment was a back ground of racism, looking down upon her hence the fact that she was black.

Her childhood was rough, her mother was the only parent providing for her and five children, which is very difficult! She remarked “Watching my mother fight and sacrifice to give us as much as she could definitely, I feel like, that gave me those tools to apply it to my life,” She continued speaking about the hardships that her mother went through, “She never given up, I’m sure she heard ‘No’ a lot.”
She described her mother with a lovable and persistent character that worked to make sure that her children to thrive.
