The racist bias that presents itself as opposition to "cultural appropriation" is in danger of being extended to roles that are Jews.

I can understand the argument that actors from visually distinctive ethnic groups should be chosen for roles of those groups because they tend to be excluded from other roles. But now that so many old plays are being redone with women in male roles, why couldn't we have non-Caucasian actors in Caucasian roles too?

That issue does not apply to Jews, because Jews have not, in general, been excluded from roles that are not defined as Jewish. Nobody suggested that Zero Mostel should not play Pseudolus on the grounds that that character was a Roman.

That sort of nonsense might happen in the future if the idea that Jewish parts go with Jewish actors catches on.

In "me-too" frenzy, crossed signals about sex can easily be inflated into "rape". If people rush to judgment, in an informal way, that can destroy a man's career without any trial in which to clear his name.

This reflects the extent to which US plutocracy regards most people as trash.
