I have always lived in towns with significant Jewish populations (Massapequa, Forest hills, Great Neck) so I grew up hearing the jokes and the accents. Lots of times it was my job to provide the goyishe kup perspective to a conversation. I probably have more yiddish in my vocabulary than the average Jewish Gen Xer.

There's a new series on Starz, Magic City. It is about a Jewish hotel owner in Miami in 1959 dealing with jewish mobsters, staff, family and entertainers. ---- the writers must be kids --- Not a word of yiddish.

Well, that is just wrong. They should every one have Yiddish and ny accents - or European or Russian accents. They did even in the 1970s in Los Angeles.
