I don’t think you know that is sounds bigoted to say that Tori Spelling and her peers created an annoying accent based on the Yiddish that her grandfather spoke.

I’m with Kabumpo here. There’s nothing anti-Semitic about observing a commonality between a certain population and its forbears, and wondering if there may be a link.

Well, not just her grandfather, many, many grandfathers and grandmothers. I wasn’t the one who said it was annoying. I said I didn’t care for it. Do I have to like everything? I believe I can like or not like whatever I choose - I also don’t like the sound of Portuguese. And Ohio accents. And the way some people in the midwest pronounce chocolate as chahklet instead of chalklet. And the way chefs on all the tv cooking shows mispronounce the herb basil with A long a like basement instead of the correct way, with a short A like basket.
