Netflix's 'You People' Starring Jonah Hill And Eddie Murphy Branded 'Horribly Damaging' To Jewish People

Netflix's “You People” has been branded “horribly damaging” to Jewish people for pushing stereotypes of them being white, privileged, and racist. The movie follows a Jewish man (Hill) falling in love with Amira Mohammed (Lauren London), who is a black, Muslim woman. Their relationship is tested as their respective families react to the cultural differences. Critics say the movie is damaging after they claim the movie leans too heavily on stereotypes and was anti-Semitic. Author of Jews Don't Count, David Baddiel, tweeted: “It’s a Jews Don’t Count fest. The Jewish family are positioned as white, privileged and racist. The black family just have a stern dad. At the end, there’s much Jewish apologizing for racism. None for antisemitism. That word never appears.” Allison Josephs, executive director of nonprofit Jew in the City, called the movie “really, really bad.”
