OH, and the (male) Jewish actors are doing pretty well, too. I noticed this funny little plaque circulating around tumblr lately that demonstrates this... (excuse the profanity at the top). http://imahazardtomyself.tumbl... My favorite is Logan Lerman, top right. Could be the male version of Natalie Portman. Anyway, I think my point is not to argue but to say that we should celebrate all this, instead of harping over Lea Michele's insecurities. The fact that out of all these actors and actresses, Michele is the one who is cast as an explicit Jew, is a bad thing, not a good one that should be repeated.
