(no subject)
First off, a very tiny bit of introduction, seeing as I just got accepted into this community, which, by the way, I think is brilliant and crazy interesting.
I'm a 17 year old goyeh living in the south of England. The Jewish community around here totals approximately zero, but I am completely in love with the Jewish religion and culture. Add to this my passion for fandom and overanalysing, and this is the comm for me. Anyway...
I was reading some of the comments about non-Jews playing Jews on TV and someone mentioned Rachel from Friends, which reminded me of a very interesting article I read a while back about the connections between Rachel and the effects of the portrayal of Jews on television. It might have been linked already elsewhere in the comments, but if not then here it is:
On Friends and Me
Hope you like, and it's great to be here :D
