In what way can "The Great Gatsby" be considered a racist novel?

Although “The Great Gatsby” is intended to offer
commentary on human behavior and materialism, there is an element to the novel that can
be viewed as racist. For instance, when Nick Carraway visits his cousin Daisy’s home,
Daisy’s husband Tom engages him in conversation. Tom is apparently reading a novel
entitled, “The Rise of the Colored Empires” and he energetically supports the author’s
view that “colored” races are trying to take over a world that should rightly be
dominated by “white” men. Although Nick offers no outward agreement with Tom, the
author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, intentionally created a character that espoused racist
views. Likewise, Gatsby’s business connection, Meyer Wolfsheim, is only one of several
Jewish characters mentioned in the text. These characters have a minimal role in the
text. Yet, they represent almost the entirety of criminality. They are depicted as
shady, dishonest and crooked. Fitzgerald makes these Jewish representations responsible
for nearly all of the criminal acts in the text.
