The 1930s had radically different opinions on race, gender, religion, and a host of other things as compared to today.

Define "radical"

The world has entirely different values today than circa 1930. This is...obvious? Read a book or Wikipedia page? I don't know what else to tell you.

The world doesn't have values, people do. And many of them are the same.

it's usually inappropriate to feed a troll, but I'll just say "olympic gold champion was congratulated by literally Adolf Hitler, but not his own country the Unite States - because he was black"

You had your fascists and you had your anti-fascists where antifascists were blamed for what fascists did.

I recommend you read the book "Pimp" by Iceberg Slim, about a Black America in the early/mid 20th century.

Personally speaking, I found the book very 'awe-inspiring'/it made me go 'wow' a bunch, because I found the author's experience so completely different from my own :)

As a brown person in the US, I certainly would have felt a difference between then and now…

The United States isn't the entire world.

It is, however, the setting of On the Road.
