In his New Biographical Dictionary of Film<\/strong><\/a>, British critic David Thomson<\/strong> says of actress Rachel Weisz<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\n
“<\/strong>Yes, she’s Jewish and unwilling to do anything to mask it – including putting a damper on her vigorous intellect.”<\/strong><\/div>\n

Hahahaha! What a fucking moron! \u00a0I’d make him Cunt of the Week\u2122 \u00a0if I weren’t so lazy tonight.<\/p>\n

This absurd quote was brought to my attention by an argument on Twitter<\/strong>, in which an Australian film critic kept insisting that Mr. Thomson is trying to give Ms. Weizs a compliment<\/em>, as opposed to exhibiting any racism.<\/p>\n

I jumped into the argument, suggesting that exchanging the word “Episcopalian” for “Jewish” would demonstrate what a preposterous statement it is. \u00a0 Another guy had already asked in exasperation, \u00a0Why should she have to ‘mask’ her Jewishness in the first place? But the Australian guy wouldn’t budge.<\/p>\n

At times like this, I wonder if \u00a0I’m giving people too much credit for being even moderately sophisticated.<\/p>\n

Anyway, David Thomson, what a fucking cunt\u2122\u00a0!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
