Silverman, 50, says there is a long running practice of?非，不，無-ユダヤ人の actors and actresses 存在 cast to portray ユダヤ人の characters in films and television shows.

'There's this long tradition of 非，不，無-Jews playing Jews, and not just playing people who happen to be ユダヤ人の but people whose Jewishness is their whole 存在,' she said during Thursday's episode of?The Sarah Silverman Podcast.

'One could argue, for instance, that a Gentile [a 非，不，無-Jew] playing Joan Rivers 正確に would be doing what is 現実に called 'Jewface.''?

She continued, arguing that Hahn, 48, portraying Rivers?in Showtime's 限られた／立憲的な series The 復帰 Girl, is just the most 最近の example in a long 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of 'Jewface' - a 言及／関連 to the 人種差別主義者 practice of blackface - casting 決定／判定勝ち（する）s.

Silverman argued that 'Jewface' is 'defined as when a 非，不，無-Jew portrays a Jew with the Jewishness 前線 and 中心, often with 構成 or changing of features, big 偽の nose, all the New York-y or Yiddish-y inflection.'??

She （人命などを）奪う，主張するs the practice is 'f****d up,' 特に during a 気候 where 身元 politics and '代表 f*****g 事柄s'.?

'In a time when the importance of 代表 is seen as so 必須の and so 前線 and 中心, why does ours 絶えず get 違反d even today in the 厚い of it?' she questioned.

She also argued that whenever a?film or television 陰謀（を企てる） calls a 女性（の） ユダヤ人の character who is?'勇敢な or deserves love, she is never played by a Jew.'

Silverman then 特記する／引用するd 付加 examples 含むing: Felicity Jones portraying Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the 2018 film On the Basis of Sex, Hulu casting Margo Martindale as Bella Abzug and Tracey Ullman as Betty Friedan in Mrs. America, and?Rachael Brosnahan portraying fictional comedian Miriam Maisel in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.?

The actress 公式文書，認めるd that while she doesn't believe these actresses are 'doing anything wrong,' she wishes they would understand that the practice is not 許容できる .

'I wish they would realize that that is by design,' Silverman said.

She 追加するd that ユダヤ人の people also need to 支持する for 代表 in the entertainment 産業.?

'It has to also finally 事柄 for Jews 同様に,' she 追加するd. '特に ユダヤ人の women.'

Silverman claims that whenever a film or television plot calls a female Jewish character who is 'courageous or deserves love, she is never played by a Jew'

Silverman （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that whenever a film or television 陰謀（を企てる） calls a 女性（の） ユダヤ人の character who is '勇敢な or deserves love, she is never played by a Jew'

It is not uncommon for someone of another race or ethnicity to be cast in a 役割.

For example,?ユダヤ人の James Caan portrayed Italian-American Sonny Corleone in The Godfather.?Cher, an Armenian-Cherokee, portrayed?Loretta Cast orini in Moonstruck.?

Natalie Portman, an イスラエル-born ユダヤ人の woman, played Jacqueline Kennedy in the 2016 biographical 演劇 Jackie.??

However, Silverman's comments is not?the first example of an 芸能人 尋問 the 'Jewface' casting 傾向.?

In 2018, when 論争 arose over Jones portraying Ginsburg,?Daniel Stiepleman, writer of On The Basis Of Sex, told 今後?that the 生産／産物 team had thought the 決定／判定勝ち（する） through.

'The question isn’t Can Felicity Jones play a Jew, the question is can she play this?Jew?,' said Stiepleman, who is also Ginsburg's 甥.

'And as somebody who’s known Ruth Bader Ginsburg my entire life, her 描写 is uncanny... I will tell you 正確に／まさに what Ruth said when she watched the film: “I’m so glad it’s Felicity, nobody else could do it.”'

類似して, award-winning casting director Jen Rudin defended casting 決定／判定勝ち（する）s, arguing individuals in her 役割 are 推定する／予想するd to find the best talent for the 役割, not type cast.

'事実上の／代理 is a profession and our goal and 職業 as casting directors is to 雇う the most qualified actor for the 役割,' she said.

'Kathryn Hahn is wonderful as Rabbi Raquel in アマゾン’s “Transparent” and my の近くに friend 認める Shaud is hilarious as Miles Silverberg on “Murphy Brown.” Neither are ユダヤ人の but both gave fantastic 業績／成果s of characters who are ユダヤ人の.'?

Rudin continued: 'At the end of her career,?Ingrid Bergman played Golda Meir and was incredible! She got the 役割 because she was a 広大な／多数の／重要な actress. If we are only casting ユダヤ人の actors for ユダヤ人の 役割s, it 料金d into a 人種差別主義者 or 宗教的な stereotype that Jews all look a 確かな way and then we are not open-minded in our casting searches.'

This is not the first time industry members have called to question the 'Jewface' casting trend. In 2018, when non-Jewish Felicity Jones portrayed Ruth Bader Ginsburg in On the Basis of Sex, the film's writer defended the casting decision saying: '[Jones'] portrayal is uncanny'

This is not the first time 産業 members have called to question the 'Jewface' casting 傾向. In 2018, when 非，不，無-ユダヤ人の Felicity Jones portrayed Ruth Bader Ginsburg in On the Basis of Sex, the film's writer defended the casting 決定／判定勝ち（する） 説: '[Jones'] 描写 is uncanny'

Dan Friedman, 今後's (n)役員／(a)執行力のある editor, echoed Stiepleman and Rudin's （人命などを）奪う，主張するs 説: '非，不，無-Jews should play Jews. 黒人／ボイコットs should play whites. イスラム教徒s should play Anglicans. Women should play men. Young people should play old people. The essence of theatre a nd of fiction is to portray the untrue, to put oneself into other people’s shoes.

'There is a practical, not philosophical, problem with casting, in that 外部の structures skew the casting along the lines of wider social inequities. There are より小数の parts for women and other いっそう少なく-powerful communities. So we need to 演説（する）／住所 that, but not by settling into essentialist theater where only 55-year-old straight white-passing ユダヤ人の men can play the 役割s of 55-year-old straight white-passing ユダヤ人の men.'

However, writer Shira Feder argued the opposite, telling 今後 that 'Jewface' casting （土地などの）細長い一片s away ユダヤ人の culture.?

'It's 説 that as a culture we want our Jewishness filtered through someone who isn’t ユダヤ人の. That Jewishness is more 公然と 許容できる when it’s done by someone who isn’t ユダヤ人の,' Feder said.

'So should 非，不，無-Jews play Jews? 井戸／弁護士席, should white people play 黒人／ボイコット characters? Should Asian people play Latinx characters? Is 存在 ユダヤ人の a race or an ethnicity or an ethno-宗教, whatever the heck that is?'

She continued: 'In true ユダヤ人の form, I’m answering a question with another question, because I don’t have the answers and nobody does. But my gut is telling me no, and when I’m smart, I listen to her.'?
