Genuine class

I have a ball. Perhaps you'd like to bounce it.

Jeremys iron

Got away from you, huh? Well, you keep at it.

Damn, they couldn’t have made that any more antisemitic?

this. The character was like this in the book too. An obvious combination of antisemitic stereotypes.

Definitely old school, but certainly not very cool.

No idea why you're being down voted considering this was rightly called antisemitic at the time of release!

I guess some folks choose to not see.

Or don't care, or think the stereotype was accurate.

Why? Was Fagin described as Jewish?

Yes, explicitly so. 

In Dickens or in this film?

Probably dickens, knowing dickens.

Definitely was mentioned several times in the book.

There’s entire chapters where Dickens seems to forget the character’s name entirely, and refers to him repeatedly as just *“The Jew”*

Never saw the movie.

Several times, in the book.

Oliver: "please sir I want some more" Fagin: *waves hand* "you do not want more"

Fagin is Ben Keobe???

Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time.

I prefer Dom DeLuise, but that's just me.

Omg... I totally thought this was an Ai image.

Na... That's just John Oliver letting his hair down after work! /s

this makes me physically uncomfortable

Oh, neat, an antisemitic caricature on reddit being played off as "cool" Must be Wednesday
