Chapter Ninety-Eight: White Not White (Thursday 1st Update)

Subtitle of this chapter: Authors of historical fiction who don't carry personal goods, so what's the difference between that and salted fish?

"Hey, it's more than ten minutes late, why hasn't Professor Chandler come yet?"

"Yes, he's always been the most punctual, and I haven't seen him late or leave early for his class anyway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoI once saw him pinching a stopwatch, and he was a German. ”

"Hey, just because he's Germanic, he can't come today!"

"Why?"

"Haven't you heard that the case of his son, who was accused of being a German spy, went to trial today, and he went back to Pennsylvania to appear in court."

"Professor Chandler's son is a German spy?! Really?! I heard that his son used to be an American officer. ”

"Who knows. His son was indeed a career officer who graduated from West Point. Mr. Chandler Jr. was nearly blinded by the Germans' gas bombs on the French front, and was left with serious sequelae, so he was honorably discharged after being promoted to major. ”

When he returned home the year before, he became a reporter for the Harrisburg Free Press. However, I don't know if he was so poisoned that his brain was abnormal, he not only openly opposed the "Versailles Treaty", but also often published articles saying that virtue should join forces, that the United States should fully support Irish independence, that the French are pig teammates and that they are absolutely unreliable, and that the old and cunning British go back. (Author's note: Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania.) )

"Isn't this just for those patriotic groups to target, so he was arrested as a German spy."

Overnight after President Wilson declared war on the Confederate bloc on April 6, 1917, countless "super patriots" emerged in our greater United States. This gang of big navy enthusiasts, conscripts, prohibitionists, anti-tobaccoists, anti-evolutionists, ascetics among the Puritans, pro-censors, anti-black, anti-Semit, anti-Chinese racists...... They all wrapped themselves in patriot cloaks made of the Star-Spangled Banner, and described their enemies as lackeys of Lenin and Wilhelm II.

These patriots organized hundreds of "patriotic groups," large and small, and the Ku Klux Klan, in which Professor Adams participated, was one of them. The creeds of these guys are of course varied, but the attitude towards traitors and radicals is quite consistent: S.O.S, ship-or-shooting, exile or shooting.

In 1917 and 1918, the Wilson government pushed Congress to pass the Espionage-Act and the Sedition-Act to suppress anti-British, pro-German, and anti-war voices. This war hero, a veteran, hit a head-on hit after returning home.

Our Master Yuan was really embarrassed after listening to this gossip, and the corporal with the mustache was almost blinded by gas bombs, but later became the Führer. And little Chandler, the major, has not left any waves in history. I can only say that the same people don't have the same fate.。

However, in his opinion, the chances of the Chandler Major being imprisoned were unlikely, because the political atmosphere in the United States in November 1920 and in the United States in November 1918 was completely different......

At this moment, Professor Klein, who had just been handing out leaflets at the door, hurriedly walked in, holding a stack of unfinished leaflets in his hand, followed by several college students who were studying for a bachelor's degree in economics.

"Gentlemen, Professor Chandler has a leave of absence today, so I'm here to substitute teach."

The Jewish-looking Jewish professor stepped up to the podium and spoke in a slightly sharp voice.

The so-called Jewish characteristics are in fact those of the Semitic people of West Asia, including black curly hair, long faces, hooked noses, deep eye sockets, and relatively short stature compared to the peoples of Western Europe.

From the genetic level, they really belong to the same Semitic race as the future enemies of life and death. Interestingly, people all over the world hail the Jews of the Semitic race as the smartest people, and the other part of the nation as who only deserve to eat sand...... Well, the sheep herder.

However, because the Jews had been wandering around Europe for 2,000 years, the result of a large number of mixed races gradually caused some Jews to gradually converge with the local ethnic groups, and racial characteristics were no longer so obvious. The mustaches had to check people's foreskins in order to confirm the identity of the white man suspected of being Jewish. It has to be said that before the advent of antibiotics, minor surgery such as circumcision was also extremely risky. In the Middle Ages, Europeans were circumcised in this hygienic practice...... It must be a beautiful picture!

However, the discrimination against Jews in Eastern Europe is more serious than in Western Europe, so the phenomenon of intermarriage is relatively rare, and the Jews there also look more "true", which is the appearance of Professor Klein.

"Since it's political economy, today's lesson is about the election," he said. I admit that I am a pro-Democrat ......"

As a hundred years later, most minorities in the United States in 1920 were Democratic supporters. But unlike a hundred years later, the "minority" here does not have anything to do with black and yellow people, in fact, they are also white, more precisely, Caucasian race.

What the? Some say that Article 15 of the 1870 U.S. Constitution Amendment gave blacks the right to vote...... Please, can those understand what an election is? Gesun either came out of the west.

In order to prevent them from discrediting the democratic elections of civilized people, the states of the United States, especially the southern states, have set extremely strict preconditions for voter registration, and have deprived African-Americans of their right to vote in disguise.

This is the treatment of blacks, not to mention native Indians and immigrants of various Asian nationalities. In fact, in this year, because of the existence of the Chinese Exclusion Act, it is almost impossible for yellow people to become naturalized in the United States.

Of course, white people and white people are different. The true formation of the national melting pot of the United States also requires a large-scale war in which the whole people participate, or at least have a sense of common participation.

That's right, World War II! World War I was effectively interrupted by the Spanish flu of 1918, so the war was too short and not exciting enough for the great United States that entered the war in 1917...... Well, intense.

Only the forging of black iron and the watering of red blood can make the "imaginary community" become a real community.

Minorities in the United States in 1920 were all non-WASP and German-Dutch white races, the Celts of Ireland, the Latins of France (Southern) Italy, and the Slavs of Eastern Europe...... And, of course, the Jews. The Republicans didn't look down on them, so the Democrats hugged them to keep warm.

The question of ethnicity is again linked to the question of religion. Irish, French, and Italian immigrants were basically Catholic, and the Slavs were naturally Orthodox Christians, and the Protestants of the WASP Anglican line were not in the same pot. This has made the Democratic Party more open and tolerant of religion. Of course, no matter how open and tolerant this era is, atheism will not be tolerated.

Naturally, this has also changed the factional composition within the Democratic Party. Later, the Democratic Party produced the first and so far only Irish Catholic in American history, the fourth assassinated, and the Nth Commander who could not control the crotch of his pants, JFK.

PS. Actually, before today's release, the author thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to delete all the more than 1,000 words of dead content.

Although 404 is an excellent reason for the supervision, the author has written very well so far, so ...... You get the idea.
