It seems "Anti American".

Why wasn't American society outraged?

Americans should have "Brainwashed" those rich people into the "American Way".

Because … being racist and antisemitic has been mainstream in society for centuries.

In my lifetime it has been both legal and widely acceptable to exclude someone from employment, housing, or even staying at a hotel because of race or ethnicity.

The rich folks I worked for back then were Semitic. I know of those you refer to and they were also anti-Catholic and anti -colored. But I found bigotry ran in all ethnic and culture groups in 1960s,70s,80s.
Being a deep south state that type of thinking was widespread in Florida.
But I found the same from folks in northern and western states.

Why were certain types of people viewed as "Lazy"?

How could people who once we slaves be lazy?

To be fair, if you’re a slave, it’s difficult to be a self-starter with initiative.

Florida has so many eccentric and unstable types

Mostly because of mostly rural ,less populated, cheap land and folks stuck to themselves. And mostly folks left you alone if you left the alone. I miss it as far as that goes.
