Radloff also took issue with the show’s opening episode for a scene in which Brody’s character’s mother refers to Bell’s character as a “shiksa,” a derogatory term for a non-Jewish woman.

"Shiksa" was a term used by the reformed Jewish guys on my dorm floor. It is somewhat derisive. And not the worst thing said ("Goyim are for practice" was the worst I heard). Hey, you want "The Goldbergs", get a Time Machine. Norman Lear and his ilk brought us this approach, and it ain't going away.

I'm confused. Wasn't Goldbergs much later than Norman Lear?
