I want a 50s themed book.

I mean, I love alot of the dancers (like Gene Kelly, Vera Ellen etc.) and singers of the time, and I like the fashion. However, the amount of racism, homphobia and sexism that was present in the 50s was horrible and I can't see any way PB could make it a fun book. The only people who were privileged in that time were straight white people. Woman were seen as housewives, if you were gay you had to hide it and if you were black you were basically seen as filfth, which is just...(I have no words for how badly people who weren't straight and white were treated) In other words, no, I don't want a book set in a time were segregation and homophobia were a thing.
