Chapter 1: Section 6: Page 50: Line 101 (894)

 But here was this hall full of Americans, no question, even the foreign-born, if you thought about where they had come from and what they must've been hoping to find over here and so forth, American in their prayers anyway, and maybe a few hadn't shaved for a while, but it was hard to see how any fit the bearded, wild-eyed, bomb-rolling Red description too close, in fact give them a good night's sleep and a square meal or two, and even a veteran detective'd have a hard time telling the difference from regular Americans.

We see how Lew has simply integrated the bias of the capitalist system when he still, at the end of his observation of how human and American the people fighting for workers' rights seem, regards them as separate from "regular Americans." Just what is a "regular American" if not someone who simply wants to earn their fair share for their labor so that they can provide food and safety and a future for themselves and their family? Who are the "regular Americans" if not these people trying to make America a better place, not just for themselves, but for all of those who would come to its shores in search of a better life? Does Lew consider only people who own a home "regular Americans"? Only people who have a certain amount of money in the bank? Only people who can buy and sell other poorer, less fortunate, people? Who are these "regular Americans"?
    If you ask the modern media, I'm pretty sure they'd say "regular Americans" are white people living in the heartland of America (and I mean the neutral definition of "heartland" which means "the center of the United States" and not the part of the definition that says a "heartland" is the most important part of a region. Most people, especially reporters, don't seem to understand that those two definitions aren't one and the same. But pretty convenient for those living in the middle of the country, isn't it? Maybe the West Coast should craft a new definition of West Coast that also means "the smartest and biggest dicked part of the country").
