Yet another movie of jewish guy with white women


We get it. Hollywood is run by jews. And countless movies are with jewish actors. It's beyond old.

What are you talking about?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays an Italian-American character in this, and his girlfriend, played by the half-Jewish Scarlett Johansson, is implied to be Jewish.

FWIW, both of their characters are white, but it still seems like you have it the wrong way around. This is a movie in which a non-Jewish guy is with a (implicitly) Jewish woman.

jews are like chameleons. they are white when it is convenient to be, and a poor victim minority that separates themselves from "whites" when it is more convenient for em

Please don't generalise about an entire enthic group. And please avoid comparing Jewish people to reptiles.

That said, there are people who act in bad faith across all races and ethnic groups, and it would be a lie to say that there are no Jews who act in bad faith.

I recently heard that David Schwimmer did an interview with David Baddiel where he stated that he "didn't feel white" on account of his Jewish identity. Now, I can understand Jewish people feeling that they are still at risk of anti-Semitic abuse in view of some of the rhetoric and even terrorist violence we've seen in recent years (not to mention that white supremacist organisations like the KKK, don't regard Jewish people as white, and neither does the OP, judging by the title of their thread), but to imply that one is 'Black', despite possessing white privilege, and despite the fact that we still see many Jewish comics, like Baddiel and Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer, mock POC, specifically Black people, strikes me as out-of-touch.

Anti-Semitism still exists. It appears to, sadly, exist on this thread. And Jewish people still face day-to-day bigotry, but unlike Black people, there are few blatant tell-tale signs that one is Jewish, unless one is attending synagogue and wearing a yarmulke. Some Jews pretend to be gentile, and some gentiles pretend to be Jewish however, the luxury of opting out of one's identity and pretending to possess a less or more oppressed one, depending on the circumstances, doesn't really exist for most Black people.

there is one way to identify a jew, it is by seeing if their penis is mutilated. however, after ww2 they used their stranglehold on the McMurican medical system to push the mutilation of millions of poor MCMuricuck children :( Lucky for me my parents immigrated to this country from Eastern Europe and were pretty anti-semitic so my penis escaped these barbaric doctors but most of my peers were not so lucky...
