//При этом сто лет назад "белыми" не считали не то что евреев, но и католиков (ирландцев, баварцев, итальянцев и прочую шушеру)//
Not really. It was important to define who was white and was not, as only whites (and later blacks of African origin) could be naturalized, so in many cases courts (including the Supreme Court) had to decide who is "white" and who is not.
For example, it was established by the US Supreme Court that Armenians are legally white, but Punjabis and similar Indian ethnics are not (despite being Aryan Caucasians). There were cases involving Afghans, Turks and Syrians (the latter ended up being classified non-whites).
However, Jewish and Catholic Europeans were always considered legally white, despite the widespread discrimination.
//Rum, Romanism and Ruin//
"Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" , AFAIR.
//В начале 30х годов, если я не ошибаюсь (сходу ссылку не найду), на все университеты Ivy League было с пол дюжины профессоров-евреев//
Many many more than that, although a lot fewer than now.
