But we do get MANY more than of any other ethnicity. Get the difference?
Now, go ahead and argue that our culture is any way more enamored, in general, of Jewish culture than it is of Irish, Italian, or Latino. Next, argue that studio heads have no relationship to this phenomenon.
You may also wish to consider that mentioning something about ethnicity can be racial w/out being racist.
From 1619 until 1865, the US legally practiced slavery. Millions perished in the journey here, alone. How many stories feature this? I can think of one.
Contrast that with the Holocaust industry. Every year, we get several films about it. This, of course, doesn't occur in a vacuum. Israel is vastly unpopular, throughout the world, for its treatment of the Palestinians. In the Abramoff film, the principal raised funding from wealthy individuals by referring to Israel as a last refuge, implying that Jews now had a place to escape to should another pogrom occur.
Is it unfair or racist to imagine that people that live in constant fear should use everything in their power to assuage it? Rather, it would be unreasonable NOT to do so.
But I like to point out propaganda when I see it.
To constantly be implying racism in discussing sensitive subjects is ipso facto an attempt to censure discussion. I'd argue that's un-American.
