The Academy Museum ignores Hollywood’s Jewish founders – The Forward

The new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles neglects Hollywood's Jewish founders

Typical liberal Jewish naïveté. Jews were left out because we’re not part of the fake-victim intersectional coalition. The author is bothered that Jews are left out for blacks, “Latinx” (a level hated by nearly all Hispanics, but used any by hypocritical leftists who will attempt to shive it down everyone’s throats anyway), and overweight women (Meaning: fat. Obesity is dangerous and we shouldn’t be pretending that seeing it in a negative way is some kind of bigotry), yet doesn’t understand that it’s because we don’t count to these people. We are “white,” in their opinion, and they are racists. She actually believes the excuse from the museum that the exhibits will “rotate,” and Jews will be included down the line. We were a major influence in Hollywood, and without us the movies as we have known them (for better, or worse) wouldn’t exist. Ignoring that history is wrong. Not that liberal Jews have the spine to stand up to that kind of wrong.
