PPl love being offended
I am a fan of the show House. Excellent writing and the actors are top notch. I noticed on this show that it seemed like there was a high percentage of Jewish characters on it. I think it's quite great and made a thread to discuss it. But for some reason this little thread I made, which by definition would fit into a minority study, has offended some ppl. Why?
Are so paranoid that we can't even discuss such things reasonably? I mean just look at some my fav shows, and I might be wrong on numbers;
1. Babylon 5- One main jewish character, some minor jewish characters
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer- One main jewish character, one minor
3. Kim Possible- One main character, two minor
4. House- Three major and quite a few minor
The others have virtually no major jewish characters let alone minor ones. So am I so wrong to want to discuss the subject? Heck..I thought it could be even a good way for those that don't know something about jewish ppl to lesrn something...shame on me I guess.

And that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure if I sat down and really thought about it, I could come up with about a thousand more. One thing that most of these characters have in common (even Krusty) is that they don't flout their Judaism, but they don't hide it either. But isn't that how most people approach their beliefs in the real world?
