The Oscars Are So White, and the Jews Are So Silent

For the second year running, activists are outraged by an indefensible lack of diversity at the Oscars. Despite an outcry last year, the nominations this year once again went almost exclusively to white people. This has prompted prominent black actors like Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith to boycott this year’s academy awards. Hollywood’s Jewish stars, however, have remained quiet. That despite having once been discriminated against in Tinseltown themselves.
