Thanks much. Personally, it doesn’t matter to me. But the label is sort of silly since you only know the name. what you don’t know if how Jewish a person is. Do they practice every week or at all, are they orthodox or Hasidic. Do they even want to be considered a Jew?
It’s how the ruling prejudiced class considers other people where the label comes from. After all, there are communities of black Jews in the world, and Asian Jews, and Jews in the Middle East. The ruling want to identify origin to control.
Most Jews renamed themselves anyway to hide their origins and ethnic identity, as they wanted to “pass” as white. But I suspect the funding probably came from “Americans”, and or the “Jews” want to sell to the widest audience possible. But lest we forget that from a legal perspective, American was fully segregated under federal law until 1954, and it wasn’t an option in 15 states where it was also written into law. So there was no choice for Jews but to hide or to suffer the same segregation as black Americans and be pushed out of the mainstream. I’m sure many Jews were away when Hollywood was founded of the 1915 hanging of the young Jewish man at the pencils factory in Georgia, a jewish lynching just a like black one, with a similar motivation, for dating a white girl.
