AAAAGH YES. HER INTERNALIZED RACISM DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE MORAL HIGH GROUND MR. PHIL GREEN IF ANYTHING YOU SHOULD FEEL WORSE.

. . . Also the scene at the beginning where Phil briefly considers interviewing Dave for an article about anti-Semitism in America before dismissing the idea as inauthentic—when he wrote about Okies in the Depression, he lived in roadside camps and took migrant work, when he wrote about coal mines, he got a job as a miner, so obviously the way to write about anti-Semitism is to experience it firsthand. AS OPPOSED TO, SAY, INVITING AN ACTUAL JEW TO TALK ABOUT IT.

Now I want to see an alternate version of the movie with Dave as the protagonist.

Write that poem.
