Wow! :smack: :eek: I’ve seen the SDMB jump on me when I deviate from political correctness. I’ll let you pick on me again. And BTW, anyone who thinks I’m anti-Semitic knows nothing about me.

[QUOTE=foolsguinea]  
the Jews aren’t actually running much of anything globally; they just want to feel like they’re in the halls of power internationally. I don’t think I’d fully processed that until just now.

This is not clearly anti-Semitic. It seems more like musing. Or is musing disallowed?

This comment does not compute. If the Jews “look at themselves in a favorable light like everyone else,” we must remain mute? Pretentious Dopers certainly look at themselves in a favorable light; may I point that out?

I’m not sure of the full charges against **foolsguinea** , but writing truth seems to be a main one. FWIW, _ **I detest Mel Gibson** _, but Jewish presence in Hollywood is strong. Although _ **the fact of strong Jewish presence in Hollywood management is well-known, I’ve never given the matter any thought** _ till I saw this thread. I was curious and started clicking Wikipedia.

The following people were all raised as Jews.

Sumner Murray Redstone (né Rothstein), magnate of CBS-Viacom  
Jack and Sam Warner, founders of Warner Bros.  
Samuel Goldwyn (né Szmuel Gelbfisz)  
David Geffen, cofounder of Drreamworks SKG  
Steven Spielberg, cofounder of Drreamworks SKG  
Jeffrey Katzenberg, cofounder of Drreamworks SKG  
Michael Eisner, CEO of Disney  
Bob and Harvey Weinstein, founders of Miramax  
Joseph M. Schenck, co-founder of 20th Century Pictures  
William Fox (né Fried), founder of Fox Films  
Adolph Zukor, founder of Paramount  
Jesse L. Lasky, co-founder of Paramount  
Marcus Loew, founder of MGM  
Louis B. Mayer (né Lazar Meir), founder of Mayer Pictures (later MGM)  
David O. Selznick, producer of Gone with the Wind  
Joel and Ethan Coen, producers of Fargo  
Sherry Lansing (née Duhl), CEO of Paramount etc.

I was startled! Almost every click led to “Jewish.” The only clicks that didn’t were for Darryl F. Zanuck and Cecil B. DeMille; the latter had a Jewish mother.

I draw no inference. But watching the Board pretend Hollywood is not “dominated by Jews” is amusing.
