Why Are Jewish Women Rarely Played by Jewish Actresses?

That's because the mainstream entertainment industry isn't committed to showing otherness in its true fullness messiness and realness. Yet for me, it is a form of whitewashing. It makes me doubt the intent of the movie or television show and could be a distraction. Not because I don't believe that non by Jewish actresses necessarily bad or can't tell a good story. I just wonder if it's really their story to tell

Thoughts on an excellent article about this in Time magazine: https://s.swell.life/SSk9G0asaQhiroG #popculture #culture

🙏

I'm going to read this article, which I have not done yet. I probably will do it later today, but I just wanted to thank you for looking at this. I've never thought about it. So that's why I love this. Well, versus you bump into things all the time, that kind of spin your head around. So I'm really excited to indulge in this little bit and maybe come back and make a comment. Thank you
