Now everyone's expected to act "properly" like the "mainstream" and/or not engage in "Mammy Speak".

Or just be a mammy without the speak, like GH's sexless matriarchal head nurse epiphany.

LOL! Epiphany is the most stereotypically written character on daytime. As much as I like the actress, GH should be ashamed for writing her as a "mammy" figure.

LOL. Touche.

>> For instance, I like the Jewish men who wear bowls on the back of their heads MUCH MORE than

the ones who change their names to "Scotchdale" and dye their hair blond.

It's called a yarmulke, and I am so tired of this discussion, I could scream.

ETA: And how dare you imply you prefer one kind of Jew over another, anyway?

Again, CBS, your own comments are not helping your cause.

If you're tired of this discussion, why don't you read the OTHERS? There's like 700 on this board.

And like any normal human being, I certainly do prefer some people over others.

Since I like the Jewish faith and have been married to a Jew, I like the ones who claim their heritage

more than those who try and hide it.

I don't think my opinion is odd or strange, it's just HONEST.

NIGHT SHIFT took one of the great black icons of cinema, Billy Dee Williams, and wrote him as a "magical janitor."

I'd suggest you walk a little more softly with that one. Jewish names have been transformed over centuries for a variety of reasons. Often names indicated the career/trade/station in life of the bearer and were merely translated upon entry into a new country. Hence names like Miller, Silversmith, etc.

North American immigration authorities were notorious for simplifying/shortening Jewish names on entry, even ones that sounded somewhat English. Names like Goldwasser were shortened to Gold.

Others have changed their names and denied their heritage to avoid persecution. I can't blame them for that.

It could've been worse. He coulda been singing "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah". lol
