1: "Apparently there’s some kind of problem where native Elphe people in Aceid are having trouble getting work due to something related to the Freezis Conglomerate (having trouble reading that part but I think they have some kind of stranglehold on the jobs in the city? Or at least the ones that would make someone rich? And they have a policy to hire only non-Elphes). The Yarera Zusco conglomerate is a native Elphe business, but Freezis still basically owns Aceid. I think basically it’s explaining that “Zeus” is an accumulation of native Elphe children whose families were forced into the slums." - MoN Chapter 2

it's outright stated in the novel that elphes are discriminated against based on their green hair, forced into slums, and have a difficult time getting work. in this context that is discrimination based on race, because it's been firmly established by the narrative of previous novels that race in evillious is represented by hair color. and let me remind you that the Freezis Conglomerate, at this moment in the narrative, own a slavery ring. yes this is likely a reference to the situation in nazi germany, which would make it a Direct reference to jewish people. which only strengthens the point I was making.

2: it has significance To Us as the audience because of the timeperiod and place. remember that japanese people were placed in concentration camps in America during world war II. that Should have thematic significance

3: first off, Fuhrer it a term for leader in germany in General. it's become associated with hitler retroactively yes, but elphogort Is based on germany. but second of all, what's more thematically relevant to her though? master of the hellish yard didn't feature quote from hitler, didn't feature her being called the Fuhrer, didn't feature any of his ideology, Nothing. her references to the atomic bomb are active, they're story defining, they're character defining, they center around her motivations as a person, they center around the Entire Plot.

banica's motivations as a people eater directly conflate her with vlad the impaler, riliane's temperment and iconography associated directly with her in her songs stem from marie antoinette, nemesis doesn't share any of hitler's ideology, his motivations, his references to her could be taken out the plot would not change. nemesis who goes by the title president and uses punishment on jakoku followed by the rest of the world is the Same nemesis as the one we have in canon. it's window dressing while the manhattan project is essential
