A lot of white people who moved to America came there to get away from countries that were organized like that. "Roots are for vegetables." In America, you could make a buck and make a life for yourself as a free agent. The classic architecture of Chicago looks old-fashioned today, but that stuff's only 100 years old, and back in the 1920s, it would've probably looked to some old-fashioned European aristocratic types like a gaudy, money-grubbing and business-oriented town. Maybe if you were Irish or Italian, you'd clique up a bit, but this idea of white people all getting along back then is a bunch of horseshit.
