[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went back and looked at two scenes where they are in a classroom for religious purposes.  In a class of roughly 16 kids, there were 3 non-white kids.  The bigger issue might be the gender imbalance because there are only 5 boys.  I'm not bothered by it, but I'm also not bothered by the non-white kids.[/quote]

So the PPs are getting worked up about 3 Jews of Color out of 16 kids?  Wow. [/quote]

DP here: those three (arguably) got a disproportionate share of screen time/speaking parts than the other ancillary kids in the class (excluding the two main girls + their boy crush).

Still, this is much ado about nothing. [/quote]

“Excluding the 2 main girls and boy crush,” aka all main characters in the movie are white (these 3, the parents, the sister, the 2 “sidekick” friends, the rabbi and cantor).

[b]So people upset that people of color were essentially window dressing in the movie! [/b](None of of those characters had any real character development or lines except to be foils for the main storyline). [/quote]

Yes, this is exactly the correct description of those posters complaining about "virtue signaling" and "woke" in this coming-of-age movie.

Just the mere existence of Jewish kids of color on the screen was triggering for them. [/quote]
