I don't understand your comment about Jews. While there was prejudice
against them it was on the level of "can't get into the country club",
nothing like in Europe. The reason is US Jews themselves. By and large they
are Americans who happen to be Jewish instead of Catholics or Baptists or
???. The vast majority don't speak a different language, dress differently,
or live in ghettos or otherwise set themselves apart like euro Jews did
pre-ww2.
While the East-European Jews were often "set apart" by their various
customs, the German Jew were well integrated into society for more
than a century. Extreme prejudice does not require funning clothing
as a target.
