The way I'm reading that comment is that big noses are a Jewish stereotype, and since the studio decided to cast a white gentile and just stick a prosthetic nose on him, they're leaning into that stereotype. They should've cast someone who was Jewish and also looked like the guy (as a whole... not only his nose).

Casting a white actor and then putting them in blackface so they can play a black person is inherently disrespectful. The history of blackface is too racist and disgusting, that to choose that over simply casting a black person would be wildly out of line.

In your example though, you said "when people [ask] me if I'm a boy or a girl...", so it's possible the above poster figured you were being asked that by a cis hetero person (since, as you point out, you're unlikely to be asked that by a queer person). In that case, odds go up that the attack helicopter grossness might apply.

I'm extra glad now that I don't eat pork.

Nice, thank you! Trying it out now. Font is crazy small (even after trying to make it bigger) and there seems to be some comment nesting issues, but excited to see it evolve :)

I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is a special kind of pain, and thinking about losing a parent on top of that must be way too much to process at once. Sending love.

Such a great book. I definitely recommend everyone read it!

I use Google Fi for my cell service and have loved it, but them killing off or selling so many of their products has me real nervous over here...
