I... honestly don't think I could run far enough away from this prospective fic fast enough. (Sorry.) It's... I can't imagine Steve being that clueless having grown up in New York. I can't imagine Tony being that oblivious. I can't imagine this staying on the right side of "wow, this is offensive" if the punchline is Tony wearing a giant gold chai pendant with a knish in one hand and a matzo in the other.

Being Jewish then and being Jewish now... it's not "oh, it's easier now." Because in a lot of ways it isn't. And the history of American Jewish assimilation is complicated one that's not about being crypo-Jews suddenly allowed to live openly. And for New York Jews, it's almost a separate case entirely.

It's also my family history and maybe that's why I'm not eager to see it turned into a Judd Apatow comedy, but... yeah. Sorry for showing up and grousing, but...
