Dave Chappelle is right. There ARE a lot of Jews in Hollywood. There are also a lot of Jews on Wall Street, and in real estate, and in medicine, and in academia. Chappelle stated a fact in his recent SNL monologue. No need to get ruffled or bent out of shape.

Yes, back then entertainment was still seen as a somewhat disreputable profession in Christian society, not much better than prostitution.
Ping to #14. LMAO.
The classic Untouchables got a lot of grief for implying many were.
“ 2 percent of the population has such immense power over our lives.”
Power over whose lives?
Sounds like victimhood just like the left whines about .
Yeah, you said it.
The current crop is of the self-loathing variety because activism is more important to them than making money!
Always has been. Not sure why it’s an issue now.
Except that, in times of rapid decline, a scapegoat is needed.
Here's the IQ curves of various groups - they pretty much explain everything you see about the level of success of those groups.
I suppose there have always been a lot of Jews in Hollywood. Jews aside, there have been many good Hollywood productions over the years. Recently, there have been many bad ones.
I am more alert to the bad ones and have started to vote with my remote, and my subscriptions. I dropped Netflix a few years ago, after decades of watching. I’m trying to reduce my HULU footprint. I’m entirely off Disney. I gave up NFL viewing. After Saban led a BLM run through the campus, I’m starting to doubt college football. I dropped Chess.com after they ran a series on players who imagine that they were discriminated against.
On the positive side, the Epoch Times and Salem News each have excellent TV Channels. I’m still getting to know the Fox Nation tv channel. Those are three quality channels. There is also the One America News Network. It has its heart in the right place, but perhaps not so much programming yet. Spend your time and money wisely.
Jewish people in show business
Indians in IT
Afro-Dominicans in MLB
Armenians in the jewelry business
White Catholics in local and federal law enforcement
Noticing these things does not make you a bigot. Obsessing about these (and of others pointing this out without malice) makes you a little kooky.
“I’ve got half a dozen or so”
Me three.
And a couple Presidents who were distant relatives: Cleveland, Hoover.
And yes, it should be a test of sorts: those with the most invested in seeing the nation survive and hew to its original aims should be in power.
And I don’t know their personal histories but offhand I count about nine that I would venture having roots back to the Revolution.
Biden’s cabinet is composed of anti-Americans, people who don’t think the nation should have ever existed. Prove me wrong by their actions, and tell me: could you have imagined any of them siding with the Americans in 1776? Like say, Xavier Becerra?
There’s no such thing as a super-citizen in this country. We don’t have nobility here.
One has to wonder who is behind the anti white crap out there.
So Jewish in-group preference is OK, but if white business owners do it, it is illegal and Affirmative Action laws will be used against them?
Because that seems to be where we are at today.
No, that's not because they're Jews or got here late, ancestry-wise. It all has to do with what's up here {points to head} and in here {points to chest}.
BTW, about a third of the American Colonists in 1776 were Tories. They went on to make Canada and Canadians, the sorry British-loving, envying-USA jerks.
I feel as though I am regularly discriminated against.....I’m an old white guy!!!!
That’s an interesting point, how about military service of their own ?
Although they are only 2% of the US population, US Jewish people contribute over half of all donations to the democrat party. The plain fact is POC are the Dem Party voter strength while Jewish folks are its primary financiers.
"According to this theological explanation, the reason that Jews have occupied positions of leadership in so many fields is because there is a drive within them, inherited from their forebears, to be “a light unto the nations.”"
From Bob Iger:
"One of the core values of our storytelling is inclusion and acceptance and tolerance, and we can’t lose that,” Iger said, according to the NYT. “We’re not going to make everyone happy all the time, and we’re not going to try to … We’re certainly not going to lessen our core values in order to make everyone happy all the time."
Not in-group preference. They were excluded and had to do their own thing. Jewish clubs did events with Gentiles, even BBQ’s.
