12 of the first 28 Presidents of the USA (which is the time Fitzgerald was doing his thing) had Irish heritage. 3 of them were first generation Irish (parents born in Ireland). Most of the police force of NYC was stereotyped as being all Irish by this point.
Yes, there were areas and times they were disadvantaged, but don’t even compare it to women and non-whites at the time.
I mean, he sounds Irish. I don’t believe they had the best treatment back then either.
Not the best, but not the worst either
