For instance, you have the people online who treat people badly and then try to excuse it by claiming, “It’s because I have a mental illness!” This causes people who actually are mentally ill to respond, “Having a mental illness doesn’t make you an a-hole!”

      That's a misuse of the quote, I think. He only said that not everyone was an asshole; he didn't take the further (and inaccurate) step of saying that the people who _were_ assholes weren't products of their time. Everyone is a product of their time, regardless of whether they're an asshole or not. Similarly, everyone's behaviour - including bad behaviour - is a product of their mental health. Sometimes mental illness _does_ make you an asshole. There are a lot of mental illnesses out there, and they don't affect everyone the same way. Just because a specific mental illness doesn't make _everyone_ who has it an asshole, doesn't mean it's not the cause of some particular asshole's behaviour. A person isn't necessarily _lying_ when they say "It's because I have a mental illness." It's just that it's up to everyone _else_ to decide whether that makes any difference for _them,_ and whether they want to try to help address the root cause, etc.

      I think the actual, in-universe part of it is because Steve was born to two Irish immigrants.
      Remember that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Irish-Americans weren't exactly treated the best by the Anglo-Americans who already lived here. They had to work hard in order to advance in society, much like African- and Asian-Americans who were very much repressed and downtrodden by Jim Crow and other racist policies of the era.
      Steve could identify and sympathize with other racial minorities on a personal level from shared experiences.
      It's also helped by the fact that Steve grew up in New York, the cultural melting pot of the world.

      @Bogda Nov While I agree with your latter statement, I must disagree with the former.
      Cap has always been a moral paragon, and was written as explicitly not a racist even back in the day he was created. It'd be silly to change that, because "it'd be more realistic." When in reality it would be a huge shift in personality and outlook, as well as explicitly conflict with the reason the serum did not turn him into a monster. The dude fought along side black soldiers without a comment in those old comics for example.
      He might hold a bit of bitterness towards the Axis powers as well as Communists in general (While they where Allies in the latter part of the war, this was widely held as a deal with the devil, and Cap would not be a fan.)
      The worst you might get on the racial front are those little slip ups that today's moral busybodies would call "micro-aggression." There are definitely some things of our era that would trip him up and make him uncomfortable, if not invoke his righteous indignation. People of different races getting along would not be one of them. (I actually think he'd be more sad to see what hasn't changed, or more commonly, the manner in which we have slipped backwards, in that regard)
      He would probably be a bit of "sexist" though. At least by today's standards. Not a full on misogynist, just a bit traditional. (I would argue that doesn't count but many would.)

But the funny thing is, he was first thawed out in 1964, barely more than 20 years after he was supposed to be frozen.

Being a "housewife" was a privilege (I say this with a pinch of salt) of the middle/upper classes, because they didn't NEED to earn their living.

    I mean, to be fair, Cap was a poor kid in Brooklyn. I'm not pretending there wasn't a lot of racism in that area at that time, but New York was a cultural melting pot.
    Ellis island was the central point of immigration into America from 1892-1943. Cap would have grown up in the most diverse area that America had to offer at the time.
    I absolutely think when he woke up he probably needed a list of words he wasn't allowed to say anymore just cause they were so common place in the 40s that the level of insult they carry today isn't something Cap would have been cognizant of, but I think he had enough general exposure to people from all walks of life that he wouldn't have been brought up with more than ambient prejudices.

    And being that my Dad went to a traditionally all black college and his best friend in the Army was black- it didn’t sound like he ever really had any huge problems with white on black racism when he grew up(though he was originally quite poor, so he probably had that to worry about), but apparently my Grandpa had a distrust/dislike of German things(as the war had just happened), and he had apparently had an old Luger pistol that he sold because of his dislike of German stuff… which is sad to hear: as Luger pistols go for a pretty penny these days, and I’d’ve loved to have owned one… oh well!

      @@leonrobinson8180But xenophobic and ignorant for thinking America is fighting the good fight when America has kiled more people in one war than naasiz did during WW2, and their cause to join WW2 was to fight for their overlord small hats like good little gooys. And if you hear the accounts of black athletes from the olympic games they tell you than naziGermany treated much better than America ever did. Even way after the 30's in the 60's Muhammad Ali had won gold for America only to be treated like dirt in his own hometown.

      Just remember it was for the best, that he most likely sold it because he didn't like to think the thoughts that came into his head when he looked at it, and I'm sure it still wasn't an easy choice.
      It's not uncommon for this to happen when veterans get older, sometimes trophies just start to feel like painful reminders instead. There is no reliving the "glory days" for men who took part in this stuff, there's only moving on from it.

    We often forget that being from "x" year doesn't mean your values are automatically "backward" compared to now
    Ideas don't come from nowhere
    We wouldn't have the rights/ideals we have nowadays if people in the past hadn't fought for and promulgated those ideas first

      Yeah, people from the past were no more monolithic in their beliefs than people are now

      I can guarantee there will be a generation that will believe abortion is murder and that today's America is an atrocity and backwards. We'll almost always see the past as barbaric.

      I don't know man, it's a pretty safe assumption that most white people were racist back then. I mean, segregation wasn't started by anyone else.

      Yeah, the way some people characterise people from the past, you'd think interracial relationships were a recent thing or something.

      The ironic thing is that the Nazi came to America to study lessons in discrimination and racial hatred from Southern states
