To Evans, Nordic whites were the only true Americans and the most advanced humans on earth. All others—“Dagoes, Hunkies, Micks, Slavs, Slopes, Kikes,” in his vernacular shorthand—were filth and scum. The Nordic race, by which he meant British of Anglo-Saxon blood, Teutonic Germans, and descendants of Vikings from the north, was responsible for civilization. He hated immigrants. He hated Catholics. He hated the sexual freedom of the Jazz Age, in film and in smoky clubs.
