#and you know what? I cannot name a single Jewish character on a mainstream tv show who keeps kosher

[my-least-favorite-savior]

What if, once in a while, just for fun, Jewish characters in mainstream tv shows ate something that actually was kosher.

Let’s just put the bar there for now. Just once, I would like to see a Jewish family on tv sit down and eat a meal that actually is kosher. They don’t even have to draw attention to the fact that it is kosher! I would simply appreciate it if tv writers would stop constantly going out of their way to tell us that Jewish characters aren’t practicing Jews and don’t do any Jewish things like keep kosher. You can just casually not have them eat non-kosher things or say that they love eating non-kosher things on screen; something that virtually every Jewish character I can name has done.

We get it, Hollywood. You think keeping kosher is weird and burdensome. You can stop going out of your way to remind us.

#representation #antisemitism #like it’s not even a casual mistake half the time #writers regularly go out of their way to tell us that a Jewish character does not keep kosher #and you know what? I cannot name a single Jewish character on a mainstream tv show who keeps kosher #not one #just something for goyische writers to think about maybe #kosher rules are really not that hard guys #don’t eat pork. don’t eat shellfish. don’t put cheese on meat. #remember those three things and you will avoid 99% of the mistakes I see
