Yeah, well, strangely enough, it's a sure bet that the person saying it is an anti-Semite, and I just hadn't cottoned on yet. And depending how safe I feel, I either give them the dirtiest of dirty looks, or smile that "I'm a nice Jewish girl who has been taught not to offend the anti-Semites because they're scary when provoked", but either way what I want to do is start screaming "fuck your goddamn, ignorant, bigoted shit, you fucking asswipe!" This is why I feel so much safer at temple. It's not that Jewish people are better people, it's just that they don't say crap like this to me.
Oh, I'm so glad! I really need to reread it. I've got the first few novels from my list, and the first seems kinda like improving literature. And I read the sequel to The School for Good and Evil and I'm caught between writing a real review and just letting out a string of curses.
Oh, who am I kidding. A movie filled with Jewish and black characters? It won't fly and we'd be lucky if it didn't get whitewashed to hell.
Yeah. "I'm caught between yes it would be a great movie!" and "no, there's no way this would turn out well." A movie is only allowed to be full of black characters if it's about slavery (and even then) or "for blacks only" and a movie is only allowed to be about Jewish characters if it's a comedy, a Holocaust movie, or Fiddler on the Roof.
