Jack Alexander Huston played a Jew recently in a film.So did Morgan Freeman (who also played an Irish guy in an older more classic movie). Nicholas Cage, and the other dude. And countless other trash shows and films I won't even try to remember. Didn't they want a black guy to play Sinatra? I forget the movie. But, like gender, race is fluid. And honestly look at the article title and by-line:
Like this won't be anti-semitic garbage that isn't worth watching? On a side note, my Rabbi said that people are always asking him if he's seen some show on netflix. It has a yiddish name I can't remember, but it's about Chassidic Jews. I bet that he is right that it's probably not even worth the time and probably casts them in a negative light. He mentioned some other older one where the writers even got their names wrong. Although there is no shortage of Jewish actors who would have problems making themselves a lame unlikable characterture. I'll pass. Mel Gibson doing it is a blessing. Maybe Talib can play his wife. |
