Alleged comedian and actress Sarah Silverman has a complaint to make: what’s with all of the actors doing acting? Don’t they know that the only part you’re allowed to play is yourself?
On her podcast, Silverman complained, “There’s this long tradition of non-Jews playing Jews, and not just playing people who happen to be Jewish but people whose Jewishness is their whole being. . . . One could argue, for instance, that a Gentile playing Joan Rivers correctly would be doing what is actually called ‘Jewface.’ ”
One could argue that, but only if one had the I.Q. of the stuff that grows on your kitchen sponge.
Silverman is the kind of person who argues for inclusiveness by telling us all about who should be excluded from what. She’s the Clancy Wiggum of the cultural-appropriation police. In 2007, on her Comedy Central show, she actually wore blackface, proving that she was guilty of culturally appropriating the humor of 1936. In 2016 she appeared as Adolf Hitler on an episode of “Conan.” Only Aryans get to do that, dummkopf!
Silverman says “Jewface” is “defined as when a non-Jew portrays a Jew with the Jewishness front and center, often with makeup or changing of features, big fake nose, all the New York-y or Yiddish-y inflection.” She added, “When the importance of representation is seen as so essential and so front and center, why does ours constantly get breached even today in the thick of it?”
“Ours”? As is, Jewish roles belong exclusively to Jews? Are Jews supposed to turn down roles as non-Jews? Jews are a small minority. They’d have to turn down the vast majority of parts if they only did roles that are “ours.” Or does this rule somehow work only one way?

Silverman is very smart. Many liberals are also incredibly smart but have no common sense.
By that Logic only Nazis should play Nazis and Communists, communists. Only Catholics Play priests?
Gee, Sarah only funny people should become comedians......
So only Jews can play Jews. Then only Christians can play Christians. Only Army Rangers can play Army Rangers. But who’s going to play aliens?
And Jews like Barbra Streisand shouldn’t be singing Christmas Carols, or eating Christmas Snow.
I was replying to the other posters comment that Silverman was not smart. She is actually a genius. Just no common sense though.
She publicly celebrates her many abortions
Shes hideous
Why doesn't she do "Magnetic Mohamad Dresses Up"? Oh, because she might get her head cut off. Christians only turn the other cheek.
That makes her a bigot.
Maybe only funny people should be comedians?
“And Jews like Barbra Streisand shouldn’t be singing Christmas Carols, or eating Christmas Snow.”
Particularly ironic thought, since talented immigrant Jews loved their new country and composed a large proportion of our iconic Christmas songs:
“White Christmas,” by Irving Berlin, etc., etc.

These tunnel vision characters miss the essential art, the essential talent.
The ability of what is being presented is called “ACTING”!
If one were stuck playing only oneself, there wouldn’t be much acting going on.
All secular carols.
Consider her petulant and obscenity laden song, Give the Jew Girl Toys for Christmas.
She berates Santa for not giving presents to non-Christian kids. Which makes no sense, because "The Night Before Christmas" says that Santa gives toys to all good children.
She also opines that Santa has nothing to do with Jesus. A telling remark. Her real complaint seems to be that Christmas is associated with Christianity. She doesn't want a "Christmas" present from Santa, but a secular present. She wants to participate in a Christmas devoid of its "icky" Christian associations.
Well, Sarah did play a whore in “A Million Ways to Die in the West.”
Really.
She didn’t think this through. Lot more non Jewish roles than Jewish.
And are we talking real Jews or fake Reform Jews like her?
Anyway, I’m sure like all liberals she is applying a double standard, so it only works one way.
Ling way of saying: shut up Sarah. You’re bad for us Jews.
