Sarah Silverman is Right


"If a film called for a Jewish character, a gentile would almost reflexively get cast in that role. "That's a long-term problem in Hollywood," Klass says."

Why should it matter if the religion or ethnicity of an actor is different from the character they're playing in a movie or TV show? The defining aspect of nearly every actor in nearly every role is that they're already not the same person as the character they're playing. Being of a different religion or ethnicity is just one more difference between the actor and the character. All that should matter is that the actor does a good job of playing the character.

Well I guess this goes to show that Hollywood in not in fact run by Jews with an agenda to crush the white man, as is so often suggested here in the pages of moviechat

reply

Last I've personally observed, Jews ARE white men.

reply

yeah , i thought the same ,
but they seem to be on the "White is right" brigade's hit list.


reply

So many anti-semites have insisted in the past that Jews are sub-human. So, not white in their deranged minds.

reply

Those anti-semites were sub-human, not the Jews.

reply

Indeed they are. I was referring to the attitude those monsters have towards Jews.

reply

Jews with an agenda to crush the white man?

So, Jack Benny, George Burns, Groucho Marx, Benny Goodman, Leslie Howard, Louis B. Mayer, Jack Warner, William Shatner, and Kirk Douglas aren't white guys? Since when are Jews POC?

reply

kind of proves Sarah doesn't know what acting is all about.

reply

Sarah understands antisemitism in Hollywood.

reply

You do realize that Hollywood is pretty much entirely run by Jews right?

reply

I do not. Exactly who "runs" Hollywood and which ones are jews?

reply

Have you ever looked up the definition of the word "jew"? It's more complicated than you think.

reply

He was a secular Jew so it doesn't matter. Turned to Eastern religion after the blast.

reply

Who was a secular Jew?

reply

Edward Teller

reply

Thanks.
And Oppenheimer, Einstein, etc. too.

reply

Jewish is also an ethnicity.

Scientists in the modern era tend to be atheists so that's not surprising. Technically, Judaism is an Eastern religion and all the major religions began in Asia.

reply

Eastern religions normally imply far eastern Asia. Abrahamic religions are normally lumped in as western religions but if you have some "technical" reason to think differently I'd really be interested in hearing it.

reply

The West likes to take credit for everything. I refuse to go along with the sham. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Sikhism and the Baha'i Faith started in Asia.

The West, aka: Romans, persecuted Jews and Christians. Another reason not to go along with the BS.

reply

So in your mind the world is Europe versus everyone else as far as civilization. LOL. Ok.

reply

Deflection attempt!

Ancient Pagan Romans persecuted and crucified Jews including Jesus and fed Christians to lions, burned them alive, and hacked them to death. BTW, the original Christians were Jews. Originally, one had to first be Jewish and then convert to Christianity.

Now, you know a little Asian, Jewish and Roman history! You're welcome.

reply

Everything fits in one of two categories? How very myopic of you. LOL.

reply

Wait ... so ... Jewish people are being discriminated AGAINST in Hollywood?? Doesn't everyone say that they RUN Hollywood? I'm confused.

reply

Christopher Nolan isn't Jewish.

reply

he's not?

reply

"Jewish people are being discriminated AGAINST in Hollywood?? Doesn't everyone say that they RUN Hollywood?"

Nolan is the director of this movie.

reply

So Jewish people ARE discriminated against in Hollywood? I'm trying to understand what this thread is about.

reply

Sarah likes to talk about vagina

reply

So?
