[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the Jews who has diversity at our temple including Blacks and Latinos. (Suburb of NYC.) It scares me to think about how some of you would treat them if you were part of the community here.[/quote] The issue isn't whether they are welcome in a traditional Jewish community. You must (or maybe you don't, since you say "temple"!) know that halacha has nothing to say about race as it is understood in America today. But I think the complaint is really about the movie's decision to obscure Jewish ethnicity (as a stand-alone ethnicity) to pander to universalizing fashion. Jews can't just be Jews? We have to show that we're not [i]too[/i] Jewey because we're still trying to make ourselves into something Gentile's find inoffensive? Spoiler: [i]that[/i] has never, ever worked in the past, and we are supposed to be the people who remember. [/quote]
