i watched netflix’s “you people” and i cant ignore the antisemitism

like the part where eddie murphy’s char is really dismissive of the HOLOCAUST threw me for a loop, he was basically like “you have generational wealth so jews aren’t oppressed.” that was very yikes to me. anyway other than that its just a midtier movie netflix made to pad its catalog, not too noteworthy, but that scene was really bothersome

#the oppression olympics in that scene like #comparing slavery and the holocaust is just. why can we not just say that both were bad?#why must it be a contest #you people #netflix #eddie murphy's char was a huge asshole though. idk if we're meant to side with him but it felt like we were bc of how the movie positioned #the black chars as like. always being right on societal issues. but throwing in the holocaust thing was like. ???? why #i think we were supposed to side with him...#anyway just my take #as a white atheist born to protestants
