Am I being too picky by kinda wishing they'd hired an actual Jewish-American woman? I think I am.

Also I think biopics on people who are still alive are a little weird.

ALSO ALSO RBG MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.

Why is it too picky to want a member of an ethnic minority to play that minority in film?

Sometimes I feel, as a Jewish-American woman myself, like I should let some stuff go. Like our skin is white so who cares, at least it's not a white woman playing Ella Fitzgerald or something? I dunno. I enjoy so much white privilege that complaining about stuff like this seems silly and an abuse of that.

Wasn't Natalie Portman originally tapped to play RBG

Nah it's not too picky, a few critics have said the same thing.
