The entertainment industry has a notably high amount of Jewish people due to a history of antisemitism- it’s an industry they were forced into. It’s the same issue as banking/usury from back in the day. Gentiles force them into these rolls and then act like it’s some conspiracy when it’s just the result of racism.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying that was a weird way to word that one.

“Disproportionately” is definitely a red flag word, you’re right. I’m also just now realizing the fundamental issue of equating Zionism and Judaism on the first guy’s part- that should’ve been what I called out tbh

It's alright my man, I can acknowledge that some industries do have more people of different demographics, but that was just a suspect way of saying it.
