Out of the 5 main characters, 4 are jews

It's like this for many movies. Despite making up a small portion of the population, Jewish nepotism and favoritism in many industries is rampant. Jews have been an overly dominating group in Hollywood for far too long. When does society start openly calling out jewish privilege?

reply

Jews are good entertainers. They have a deep cultural history of comedy. Christians practice nepotism, too.

reply

There are many groups with deep cultural history of comedy. Jews running Hollywood like their own personal club is not a good thing.

reply

Why do Jews bother you so much?

reply

They don’t bother him, he loves them. Without Jews who would he have to scapegoat for his shitty life?

reply

Jews in a movie about Hollywood. That's unusual. I guess that had never happened before.

reply

Jews flocked to the West Coast when they faced anti-Jewish discrimination out East. So, they were the driving force behind Hollywood, where they could be the ones running the show, literally. So, that has continued since, with Jewish filmmakers, actors and executives finding careers there.

I think that Jewish people are driven to be successful because they make up 2% of the world population. Now, that doesn't mean that they are being successful in anything that is worthwhile. Too often it is just about being successful for the sake of being successful. That is why so much of the movies and TV shows that we get just feel like product. It's all about just cranking out the product like you'd crank out paper towels.

It is kind of interesting that, in these representation obsessed times, who is getting too much representation, who should get more, there is one group that is very well represented indeed that is pretty much exempt from the discussion. In fact, mentioning them tends to get you labeled a lot of bad things.

But I've probably said too much already. What if this isn't as anonymous as I like to think? Could be bad for my social credit score.
