"Hollywood, we're missing a stereotype here."


Hollywood seems to have an endless fascination with certain stereotypes, like the ones showing my Italian DNA as some overgrown, flabby pasta eating thugs, always sitting in a restaurant gulping down mountains of spaghetti while discussing how to "whack" someone.

Or the movies showing African-Americans as wearing about 20 pounds of gold and chugging malt liquor while planning on how to take over the crack trade.

The portrayal of Irish-Americans as living in some Northern Ireland blarney stone pub, gulping down vast quantities of Guinness Ale while plotting on how to blow up the British soldiers of occupation is a familiar one.

And the favorite stereotype of Hollywood these days, the bomb-throwing, AK47 packing Muslim "fundie" who worships death and hates life.

So Hollywood, where are the movies/TV shows that depict the money-grubbing Jew banker? There's no shortage of material, from the time JC tossed the money changers out of the Temple, to the "Shylocks" of the Middle Ages to today, where the Federal Reserve is controlled by Jews and giving away trillions of dollars to their buddies on Wall Street, another Jewish enclave.

C'mon, don't be shy! Turn that mirror inward and give us some monster Speilberg flick about money-grubbing Jew bankers. With all the scams, cons and outright thefts going on in the US Treasury Department and Wall Street, there's enough material for a dozen or so flicks.

Some might say this is "anti-Semitic." I disagree. If Hollywood can slander and malign billions of Italians, Irish, Blacks and Muslims, then it should have no problem with making movies spoofing money-grubbing Jew bankers.

P.S. Another stereotype that's missing is the exploitive Hollywood agent.
