In the 50's while colleges had a significant Jewish presence, in the prep high schools in the area this was, they were unheard of.

Hell a Catholic would probably get some level of hazing as well at the type of WASP institution being portrayed here.

In 1950s America, blacks had their place, women had their place and there was no place for gays

Prestigious schools, country clubs and business had no place for them.

Realistic for the 60s.

Right now Ivy League schools are run by black Anti-Semitic communists.

Now those folks run everything.....and now they're not so prestigious.

I guess this is what happens when you let them in.

We discovered that they're no better than the rich snobs that came before them.

In the early 60s my family lived in Westchester County in NY and many families were quite wealthy.

A kid in my class invited me and another kid to his Country Club. When we got there, the kid turned to my friend Randy and told him……Don’t tell anyone you are Jewish.
Then he turned to me and asked …..What are you?
I told him I am Catholic.

He said….Don’t tell them you are Catholic either

You most likely would still get some of that from people living in main lines of cities. Many of older money. Generation to generation to generation. There was a lot of people in their place at one time. Not as much today. Yet we seem out of control at times.

Ok but im still surprised because i would guess it 1930s Germany not 1960s USA i thought in the USA jews were never discriminated
