The 'white on one side, black on the other 'was used to exemplify the inconsequential difference between Commissioner Biel and Loki. His insistence that black "on the right side" was inherently superior to those who were white on the right side is entire basis for his argument.
His stated beliefs are clearly absurd and serve to illustrate to 1960s audiences which other prejudices of their own might also be fallacious.
Don't forget the time that this story was written.

At the time, there really wasn't any significant network objection to Lt. Uhura's presence on the Enterprise, except perhaps for a few local-station yahoos in the South. It was the actress Nichelle Nichols herself who wanted to leave the show after the first season because she felt her character wasn't being given enough to do. She changed her mind after a conversation with Dr. Martin Luther King convinced her that simply being there on the bridge was an important statement.

I've known people who refuse to listen to the other. I don't believe that it's a matter of inability to listen, but the refusal to listen.
