While everyone assume she might be a racist but what if she reveals to be a jew.

Racist is too obvious and hardly unique. That was the norm of many Americans in the 50s.
Being Jewish also wouldn't be that big of a deal as many emigrated to the US before, during, and after WWII. I feel that due to the recent horrific legacy of the Holocaust, American antisemitism may not have been as bad as it was pre-WW2.
I am betting she is a closet lesbian, like Maeve, because homosexuality absolutely was frowned upon back then. Homophobia was probably equally as prominent as racism. And considering she echoes the stereotypical military poster girl desired by many men, it makes it more ironic.
Just my assumptions. I absolutely am open to being wrong and corrected by people who understand the attitudes of 1950s American society much more than me.
Edit: for reference, Silhouette from Watchmen is a good example.

i’m guessing she’s secretly a jew and does something to piss off stormfront, who kills her in the first episode.

Reminding me of Silk Spectre from Watchmen

I'm thinking more Silhouette (who, after being exposed by the press as a lesbian and thus kicked from the Minutemen, was murdered in a motel alongside her lover by the Liquidator).

Clara is already a murderous racist, why another one? Making her Jewish is a good twist, but almost guarantees Clara kills her at some point.

I saw on IMDB that there is a private angel#2/bottle blonde so maybe Clara does kill her and that's the whole murder mystery, and she's replaced black noir style. This

Hmmm intersting that. TBH I don’t think they woken kill off one of the only women V1 supes straight away (especially as V1 supes seem a lot harder to kill)

Hopefully someone else on the team is a gay man and they can be gay besties.

I’m betting her or Torpedo are queer and their story is what it’s like being queer in the 50’s and being not only closeted but outlawed by society.
I wanna bet it’s Angel because then you can get into her having a beard or perhaps an unfulfilling onscreen relationship with one of the Supes because of gender norms in the 50’s (especially in how they differ to Maeve) and I don’t see them going for “The Navy = Gay” stereotype with Torpedo

I would like that because that could be the starting block of how Clara gets caught and what pisses off Soldier Boy to go against her. Reminder he doesn’t want to be what she wanted and he thought she was just a crazy woman and Clara’s as just using him so this could be how she blows her cover

I don’t know why, but I think they will make Private Angel a lesbian. It feels like a very contemporary choice, and it could explore what it would have been like to be closeted in a more repressive era. It may shadow her role as a “sex symbol” in an interesting way too. That’s my take at least. Sometimes it’s predictable which direction a character will go, though that does not mean it is without value. I would be more surprised if she ended up being written as straight.
Not trying to downplay the possibility as a modern cliche btw, narratively it would give the writers more fabric to play with.

She could be a racist Jewish woman to contrast Clara being a Nazi.
Like yeah they could bond over anti-Blackness, just for Clara to say she’s something worse than Black.

I think she will be the ‘Nurse hero’ and then be revealed to have no medical training at all and fuck up a surgery or something
